Cyber Heroes

"I bet those aliens are definitely fans of flying bricks." Xiang Shan said as he carefully looked at the row of plates in front of him that were suspended and slid by the mechanical arm.

This is something removed from the core layer of Ogun. A name was chosen as the project code name from the myth of the origin of the name "Ogun" for Project Rama. These plates are called "Orunmira" - in one mythology, the god of prophecy, magic and knowledge.

"Orunmila" - these plates are fixed on the inner side of Ogun. They are closely arranged together, like a kaleidoscope.

A number of what may have been tracks ran parallel to the walls. Presumably the robots move along these tracks.

And at the backbone of the entire core is a machine that is no longer usable. There must be something wrong with it. No matter how many times humans try it, it doesn't respond. Of course, it may also be because humans haven't found the "power button" or "start button" yet.

Or it may simply be that the power supply equipment connected to humans does not have enough voltage.

Who knows if the civilian standard for aliens is one hundred thousand volts?

But currently, those who have the right to operate the alien machine do not dare to directly apply the voltage to a hundred volts, for fear of burning out the only complete sample of the alien machine.

Ah, of course, there are some incomplete ones.

During Xiangshan's exploration, they were blocked by some gravel. And behind those piles of rubble were other incomplete mechanical remains. The number of these wreckage is very large, it seems that they should be drones.

By the way, not even a single organic macromolecule from extraterrestrial origin has been found.

Several scientists, including Xiang Shan, have thought about the idea that aliens are cybermen, biological brains living in mechanical bodies. Although it is ridiculous, no one thinks that putting the thinking organ into the cyber body can extend the life of a thousand times the natural life cycle, but humans still carefully check every machine.

There is no evidence that organisms were ever present inside. These things are all purely mechanical.

Human beings recorded the location of those machines and recorded the number and coordinates of each piece in detail.

It is said that research institutions with government background are already working on reversing what these machines looked like before.

Within the Rama Project Park, many scientists have also begun restoration work.

However, many scientists have already expressed disappointment.

Whether it is materials science or engineering, the builders of "Ogun" are not far different from the earth. At most, they are "a little more advanced than the earth."

The issue that the big shots of the permanent members of the Security Council are most concerned about, that is, "the technology that Ogun can bring to today's mankind that can be directly used in industry or military affairs" seems to be just that.

For example, the structure of a quite mature nuclear rocket engine.

The only problems that humans need to face now are the information on these plates and the repair of those machines.

All in all, the biologists who were pulled over urgently, especially those engaged in molecular biology, were suddenly in an embarrassing situation - because all the biological macromolecules in the spacecraft were analyzed and determined to be pollution from the earth.

There is not a single extraterrestrial biological macromolecule in it. There was simply nothing for them to study.

Those who study morphology and behavior can also try to speculate on the possible forms and cognitive abilities of aliens, but there is really no research object in molecular biology.

The reason why these people were not evacuated directly was partly for insurance - just in case - but also because some people speculated that the information on these composite boards contained alien genetic information, which needed to be analyzed.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xiangshan now.

He looked at these stone slabs that were truly from extraterrestrial beings with fascination.

Another civilization, across an unknown number of light years and an unknown number of thousands of years, sent this creation to the solar system. These stone slabs may have existed longer than human civilization.

When Australopithecus just stepped down from the tree, it might have been on the road and rubbed against countless interstellar dust. When the Mayans looked up at the stars, it may have been traveling through the Oort Cloud.

And after such a vast span of space and such a long span of time, it can still exist less than two meters away from the individual Xiangshan.

This is a "miracle" in itself.

Ingrid stood next to him, quietly looking at the stone tablets with unknown messages written on them.

There are so many people who want to study these tablets. The Rama Project has to strictly manage these stone slabs, and if you want to actually conduct research, you must apply in advance.

Although every scientist in the park can obtain relevant information about the symbols on the slate, there are still some scientists who want to take a closer look.

It's like visiting a museum. Although many photos of cultural relics are available for you to look at, the experience of actually touching them is different.

And Xiangshan sighed: "I bet those aliens are definitely fans of powerful brick flying."

He spoke Chinese. And among this circle of people, only Ingrid happened to understand.

"Huh?" Ingrid said, "How do you say that?"

"It's really a good way to carve down information." Xiang Shan sighed: "The noise resistance is very strong, really, very strong, and the cost is also very low."

"Um."

"The reason why electronic products are difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility is because they are too small. A small accident or the impact of a high-energy particle will cause bit flipping... Of course, they can also make several mirror backups and constantly compare the relative Verify the position data. However, this spacecraft only has such a small area, and it is entirely possible that it will be wiped out by a beam of gamma rays from an unknown number of light-years away, right?"

"Oh." Ingrid nodded.

"Actually, everyone who makes machinery knows that if you can't make a sufficiently precise machine, you might as well make it bigger. As long as the material strength is sufficient and there is no need to worry about operating costs, large and crude machinery can be made small. And precision machinery can do the job.”

"oh."

"But this information density is too low..." He whispered: "The data that can be stored in the same volume is pitiful..."

"I heard that lasers are used to burn information into some kind of crystal. It's also very stable?"

"But in that case, interpretation becomes a problem." Xiang Shan said: "If a piece of information must be read with high precision, then when the reading equipment fails, the information will lose its meaning. And the more the information is If it is small, the requirements for interpretation equipment are higher." Xiang Shan pointed at the slate: "As for this thing, a scanner with a speed of more than 100 can read it."
