Earth Era

"Huh?" Wei Feng's brows instantly knitted together, and he couldn't help but begin to repeat what Ye Luo said: "What did you say? You said you also noticed a similar flash of light in the Nanmen II Galaxy? What kind of flash was it? What type of flash? What is it? What is the approximate mechanism? Detailed location? Natural phenomenon or man-made phenomenon?"

Wei Feng asked several questions in series and expressed his urgency in this manner. The flash phenomenon in the solar system is easy to explain. It is nothing more than a war between the two major alliances. However, similar flashes were also found in the Nanmen Galaxy... What is going on?

Could it be that... there is also a civilization in the Nanmen II galaxy? And this civilization is also at war? After all, there is still about a light-year distance between the Xinghai spacecraft and the Nanmen II galaxy at this moment. The luminosity of the flash that can be observed at such a distance can be imagined to be very intense. Apart from some powerful strategic weapons, Wei Feng really couldn't think of anything else that could emit such a violent flash.

But how is this possible? If there really is a civilization with this level of technology in the Nanmen II galaxy, how could human civilization fail to discover it?

Determining whether there is technological civilization in a star system does not require actually visiting that place. There are many signs of the existence of super technological civilization. The simplest sign is the impact on stars and planets. Even if this technological civilization has not developed enough to affect stars or planets, as long as they master radio communication technology, certain extremely high-power radio signals will reveal their existence. Although there is a distance of more than four light years between the Nanmen II galaxy and the solar system, based on the observation accuracy currently achieved by human civilization, as long as the civilization that may exist in the Nanmen II galaxy enters the information age, then human beings Civilization must discover them.

At this moment, many thoughts went through Wei Feng's mind, and many terrible thoughts came to mind.

"Let me introduce you to the details of the flash I observed." Ye Luo said, "Because we will arrive at the Nanmen II galaxy in more than a hundred years, I must study the Nanmen II galaxy in advance. Observations were carried out to confirm some information in advance to pave the way for our subsequent landing operations. That was about five years ago. I detected these flashes when I was conducting routine observations of the South Gate II system."

"It is different from the flashes that occur in the solar system. The flashes in the solar system appear at random locations and at random times, and the time intervals between them are long. But the flashes that occurred in the Nanmen Galaxy not only have extreme A short time interval, and they all appear in the same location.”

"Continue to tell me further information." Wei Feng said. After hearing the information described by Ye Luo, Wei Feng felt a little more relaxed. Because of the two characteristics of fixed position and extremely short time interval, the possibility of a large-scale war in the Nanmen II system has been basically ruled out.

Wei Feng couldn't care less about this matter. Because the Nanmen II galaxy is Wei Feng’s destination for this voyage. What happens there is likely to be directly related to Wei Feng's future.

"Also, there are weak changes in luminosity between different flashes, and... if a two-dimensional dot matrix is ​​made based on the different changes in luminosity and the different time intervals between flashes... I found that there seems to be It contains some strange logical connections." Ye Luo continued.

"Huh? Logical connection?" Wei Feng frowned again. Whether there is a logical connection is the most important indicator to measure whether something is natural or caused by human factors. Since this flash of light has some internal logical connection, it can basically be ruled out that it is caused by a natural phenomenon.

...what does this mean? Does this mean that there is already some kind of intelligent life in the Nanmen II galaxy at this moment? So where did this intelligent life come from? What do they want to do with such a strong flash?

Wei Feng's brain was running at high speed. At this moment, Wei Feng had a thought in his mind: "Perhaps this flash of light is a method used by some intelligent creature in the Nanmen II galaxy to transmit information."

But new questions arise: "Who do they want to convey information to? What information do they want to convey?"

Thinking of this, Wei Feng immediately asked: "Ye Luo. Tell me, can you analyze anything from this flash of information? Can you be sure if there is anything in this information that we can understand?"

Ye Luo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Captain, this is what I find most difficult to understand. Yes, it is just like you said. I am trying to use the code-breaking method of our human civilization to decipher this paragraph. When trying to decipher the flash message... my deciphering work turned out to be extremely smooth. I encountered almost no difficulties and deciphered it using a fairly rudimentary method in our human civilization."

"Do you know what this means?" Ye Luo said quietly, "You can imagine that I noticed a flash of light in the Nanmen II galaxy that our human civilization has never set foot in, and this flash of light... is like It is specially prepared for our human civilization. Using only the most rudimentary code-breaking method, we can successfully decipher the text message with complete sentence sequence and logical connection, clear meaning and no ambiguity..."

"Yes. This flash of light seems to be specially prepared for our human civilization." Ye Luo said.

Wei Feng felt even more strange in his heart. Wei Feng even asked cautiously: "So... what is the text message you deciphered... exactly?"

"The sentences are very short and easy to understand." Ye Luo said. "This text message is: You can come here. There are only these seven words. And, it is repeated twice. The time interval between the two times is one year."

Wei Feng murmured these words repeatedly, feeling the doubts in his heart rolling endlessly like a vast ocean. Wei Feng had a vague feeling that there seemed to be many secrets hidden behind the Gudao Project, and there were many things he didn't know.

Although this matter is too ridiculous and unbelievable, based on the existing evidence, Wei Feng can only draw one conclusion, that is, there is indeed a person who is proficient in human civilization, culture and The unknown existence of technology is now using this flashing method to send a message to human civilization, saying that you can come over.

——This message must be sent to human civilization. Otherwise, Wei Feng really cannot explain why this flash message can be deciphered using the most basic code-breaking method of human civilization. At the same time, the information about the intensity of this flash that Ye Luo told Wei Feng also proves this point: Ye Luo's observation report shows that the intensity of this flash of light can be observed from the solar system with the technological strength of human civilization. arrive. It won't work any further. Although this cannot prove that this flash of light was sent to human civilization in the solar system, it undoubtedly enhances the credibility of this point.

If we take the premise that "this message is directed at humans in the solar system", then three other points can be demonstrated at the same time. First, if you can come here, it means that you were not allowed to come here before. Second, this unknown existence must have had contact and communication with humans on Earth in advance. Because obviously, if you think about it according to the human logical system, now that it says "you can come over", then before, this unknown existence must have had some kind of agreement with the earth, or there must be some kind of tacit understanding. Third, this unknown existence did not know that Wei Feng had already set off for the Nanmen II system. Because if it knew, it wouldn't say "You can come over".

It was precisely based on these three points that these seven short words reminded Wei Feng of the island plan he was executing. The destination of the Island Project is to fly to the South Gate II system. At first, Head of State Keller promoted this matter on the grounds of "taking the first step in interstellar exploration", but at this moment, it is just "You can come over". Just seven words completely negated the reason proposed by Head of State Keller. It shows that there must be a deeper reason why the island plan was implemented. The deeper reason is probably due to the original agreement or tacit understanding between the human government and this unknown existence.

"If we remove those factors that we don't understand yet, we can roughly summarize this event: there is some kind of tacit understanding or agreement between human civilization and an unknown existence. The content of the agreement is that this unknown existence first goes to Nanmen II Go to the galaxy, and after it is proven that there is no danger here or some dangers here have been solved, a signal will be sent to the solar system, and then human civilization will lead the plan of the voyage to Nanmen 2. However, the human civilization government seems to have I couldn't wait any longer, so I couldn't wait to start implementing the matters related to the voyage to Nanmen II before the unknown existence sent a signal. That's why we had the isolated island plan, and that's why we have the Xinghai spacecraft and me at this moment..." Wei Feng murmured, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt, and even had some faint fear.

Wei Feng is not afraid of death, but the feeling that he personally participated in this matter, but the truth of the matter is hidden in the fog, and that he has become a chess piece who only knows how to move forward... is what makes Wei Feng the most. fear. (To be continued ~^~)
