Annihilation of the solar system

"Data collection interrupted! Please check the probe position! Data collection interrupted! Please check the probe position!"

The AI ​​voice prompts of the intelligent guidance instrument were clearly audible. Wei Xu slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he was already in the aircraft cabin, and Xia Lan was saying something to him with an anxious look on his face.

But he couldn't hear clearly what the senior sister in front of him, whose eyes were stained with tears and her face was still pure, was saying. Suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness swept through his body, and he fainted.

"Please pay attention! The fuel reserve is 10%! Please pay attention! The motor temperature is too high! Please pay attention! The propeller vibration exceeds the standard!"

Red alarms were flashing everywhere on the bridge, and red warning indicators were flashing everywhere on a schematic diagram of the aircraft structure on the main screen.

At this time, the four motors of the aircraft were already emitting thick black smoke. Fortunately, the shuttle piloted by Hou Peng with two huge paragliders was already above their heads like a giant eagle spreading its wings.

Lu Yuanzhou's eyes were firm and he clenched his teeth as he controlled the aircraft, which was already difficult to control. The autopilot was now unable to work due to excessive vibrations of the aircraft, but he did not tell Xia Lan about this situation.

He struggled to let the aircraft fly to the belly of the shuttle, and then maintained the same speed and sinking rate as the shuttle:

"Start the rendezvous process!"

Now the only person left in the cabin who could move freely was Xia Lan. She stood up and walked to the position behind Lu Yuanzhou's seat, and skillfully removed the four rubber strips reserved for the seam of the glass above her head.

Just as she pulled off the tape, a burst of smoke came out of the seam of the glass. It was a specially designed degumming agent. As long as the tape was torn off, the adhesive on the glass seam would react and fail.

Then Xia Lan pushed the piece of glass outward hard, and the glass slid down the smooth surface outside the cockpit with a "crash", leaving a square opening.

The shuttle overhead stretched out a telescopic sleeve that just connected with the square opening where the glass was removed, and the hatch opened. Hou Peng was already waiting at the hatch, and he dropped a sling with a hook.

Xia Lan first tied him to the belt of Wei Xu, who was still unconscious. Hou Peng on the shuttle operated the winch and quickly transferred Wei Xu to the shuttle. Then she used the same method to lift Lin Tianyu, who was almost unconscious.

It was also transferred to the shuttle. Lu Yuanzhou's eyes were blood red and he looked back at Xia Lan:

"You go first, I'll come up last."

Xia Lan nodded, but when she tied the hook to her waist, she suddenly discovered that Lu Yuanzhou's hands holding the joystick and pitch rod had been moving slightly, which meant that the aircraft was not in automatic flight mode. She

frown:

"Is there something wrong with the aircraft?"

Lu Yuanzhou shouted anxiously:

"Don't worry so much! Take the data and leave quickly, there is no time!"

Xia Lan gritted her teeth and quickly picked up a safety rope on the floor. She buckled one end of the rope around her waist and the other end directly on Lu Yuanzhou's belt. Lu Yuanzhou didn't know what Xia Lan was going to do, and was hysterical.

roared:

"What are you going to do! Leave me alone!!! Leave quickly!!!"

Xia Lan ignored the roaring Lu Yuanzhou. She methodically fastened the sling that lowered the shuttle to another buckle around her waist. Then she pressed the unlock button of Lu Yuanzhou's seat belt:

"We have to go together. No one of us can stay."

Lu Yuanzhou held the joystick in his hand and began to slowly retreat toward the back of the seat until he reached the limit where his hand could reach the joystick. Xia Lan shouted to Hou Peng above:

"Tighten the sling!!!"

Xia Lan and Lu Yuanzhou finally left the overwhelmed aircraft from the exit before the aircraft completely capsized.

After fastening the safety belt in the shuttle, Hou Peng started the return procedure. The two huge paragliders on the wingtips of the shuttle suddenly drifted in the air like deflated balloons, which was a normal reaction after they were released.

Then a bright flame erupted from the tail of the shuttle and traveled all the way into space, until in the end only a bright star could be seen.

Back in the Hongyan, Lu Yuanzhou and Hou Peng provided emergency medical treatment to Wei Xu and Lin Tianyu. Fortunately, they were all fine and could recover quickly under the normal atmospheric environment of the spacecraft. Xia Lan passed through the gravity slingshot after the spacecraft passed

After entering the return transfer track, the intelligent guidance device was immediately turned on.

At this time, the smart guidance device no longer has a lengthy power-on self-test program, but directly displays a line of words on the screen.

"The data cannot be imported into the hard drive, please remove the hard drive."

Xia Lan took out the solid-state drive from the chute behind the boot device. Just as the "click" sound of taking out the hard drive sounded, the screen of the smart boot device also turned off. Xia Lan suspended the hard drive in mid-air at hand and wanted to

When she went to start the guidance device again, she found that no matter how she operated it, the screen of the guidance device did not light up.

"What a good luck! The computer crashed just after the data export was completed!"

Xia Lan looked back and saw that Wei Xu, whose lips were still pale and looked very weak, had been floating behind him. Xia Lan no longer fiddled with the guidance device that had actually automatically cleared the program. She took

Through a hard drive floating in the air.

"Wei Xu, you haven't recovered yet. Go and rest first. Let me see what these data look like first."

Although Wei Xu's face looked bad, his smile was still so cheerful and open-minded.

"In this environment without gravity, there is no rest. I also want to see what is in the data that I almost lost my life to get."

At this time, Lin Tianyu, who was also very weak, also came over. Xia Lan inserted the hard drive into the computer, and the drive letter showed a storage capacity of 625pb/1000pb. The three of them were shocked.

"Oh my God, so much data can be written in such a short time." Wei Xu sighed.

Xia Lan opened the hard drive, and the window was neatly filled with files. The drop-down bar on the right side of the window was rapidly changing from a long bar to a small trembling horizontal bar, which indicated that the files had not been loaded.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the trembling little horizontal bar stopped. Xia Lan clicked on the first file. The content of this file was not much, only a dozen pages. But the content inside made them feel strange.

, which are all lines of computer command code.

They were not familiar with the code characters, but they all knew the English commands.

"These should be the programming codes of some kind of program. They should be included on the hard disk or written by the boot device." Lin Tianyu said.

Xia Lan closed that folder and opened another folder at will. The computer immediately jammed again. They waited for more than ten minutes as before, and letters and numbers as dense as a mesh covered the entire screen. Three

People stared at the screen for a long time and still couldn't see the pattern.

"This may be the raw data, but there is no pattern at all!" Wei Xu said, stroking the stubble on his chin.

Xia Lan flipped through the messy data.

"It may be some kind of base system used by alien civilizations, similar to our 2, 4, 6, 8, and 16 base systems. Without the algorithm key, optical conversion of so much data would be a super project. Let alone unlocking it.

The information contained in it.”

Wei Xu suddenly thought of something:

"Hey, senior sister. Can you try the code you just opened and create a C program? Then enter a random paragraph and try it?"

Xia Lan built a program according to Wei Xu's method, and then intercepted a piece of complicated data and entered it. A few minutes later, the familiar numbers 0 and 1 began to pop up at the bottom of the DOS window. But it was just a piece of data.

With input, dozens of binary 01 codes were transcribed.

"I really admire Teacher Zhou now! He has even prepared the secret key for transcription. Now I finally understand why I always heard other teachers say that Teacher Zhou is not forgiving, but he is indeed a real genius.

"Wei Xu sighed.

Xia Lan rolled the mouse wheel casually, pulling out the transcribed binary data, and then looked at the thousands of pages of code data in each folder, and finally her eyes fell on the drive letter capacity of 625pb/1000pb. Finally,

He said in a low voice:

"We can't handle data of this magnitude. It will probably take several years to use a supercomputer when we return to Earth, from transcribing to finally finding out the useful information."
