Earth Era

After working for several hours, Wei Feng completely disassembled the alien device. Among them, the hibernating cabin containing the frozen corpse of a suspected Martian was stored separately, and the remaining parts were numbered by Ye Luo and properly kept.

During the disassembly work, Ye Luo has been working on three-dimensional modeling, that is, reproducing all the structures of the device from the data level, using this method to try to restore the working mechanism of the device. At the same time, the analysis of the thousands of parts and their smaller structures is also in progress. Ye Luo is trying to confirm the role of each part in this machine to provide a basis for modeling work.

The analysis of the hibernating cabin was completed first. Ye Luo first provided the analysis conclusion of the composition of the frozen light blue solids: "Through the analysis of the composition of these materials and the scanning analysis of the suspected Martian corpses, I have confirmed The energy supply pattern required for the survival of this life also confirms another point, that is, this life died a long time ago, and it did not die because of our interference."

This conclusion made Wei Feng feel a little comforted. After all, no matter where this life belongs, it is not a good feeling to lose a life due to your own interference.

"So have you determined the cause of its death?" Wei Feng asked.

"Through autopsy analysis, I think the cause of its death was probably hibernation for too long. It hibernated for too long, much longer than we imagined, so it really fell asleep and died, never to be seen again. There is no possibility of waking up." Ye Luo replied, "The working mechanism of its hibernation cabin is roughly similar to ours, but its performance is much higher. But no matter how advanced it is, it cannot sustain such a long period of time. Hibernation.”

"Do you have any other discoveries?" Wei Feng asked.

"Yes." Ye Luo replied, "I have determined that after this life form enters hibernation, the operation of this device is managed by a program with a very high degree of intelligence. Its program is more intelligent than me. Higher, it worked by repairing itself for hundreds of millions of years. But it stopped working hundreds of years ago. The reason it stopped working was because it lost its energy supply."

"Oh..." Wei Feng responded hesitantly, "In that case, does this device really use that micro black hole as its energy source... Using a black hole as its energy source is really a big deal. Ah. But... this device is really too small and too crude. I think that even with the Martian civilization’s technology, which is somewhat higher than our human civilization, they would not be able to install a single satellite for such a device. A black hole that can provide energy for hundreds of millions of years, right?”

"No, you are wrong about this." Ye Luo replied, "I parsed some drawing structures in the database of that intelligent program. These drawing structures describe a ship that is 1,500 meters long and 1,500 meters wide. And a giant spacecraft with a height of hundreds of meters, and...the internal core structure of the spacecraft described in those drawings, that is, the structure of the hibernation cabin is completely consistent with the device we captured, then...Captain , do you understand what this means?"

Wei Feng did not directly respond to this question. Instead, he asked with some surprise: "What, Ye Luo, can you parse the data from the database of this device?"

Wei Feng did not directly dwell on the previous question. Instead, he asked this new question, and Ye Luo replied: "Yes. I have initially parsed some data, and have some knowledge about how this civilization stores data. If I am given enough time, I think , except for the data that has been completely damaged and completely unrecognizable, I can completely recover the rest."

"How did you do it? This is incredible." Wei Feng murmured, "After all, these are two different civilizations. They have different cultures, different living environments. Different moral systems. In short, they are almost Everything is different. In this case, how can you parse the data from their database?"

"This is not an incredible thing." Ye Luo replied, "Captain, assuming that you want to pass some information to a completely unknown civilization that may arrive by storing data at this moment, what kind of information will you store? Woolen cloth?"

Wei Feng thought for a moment, and then said: "If you want to transmit information between two different civilizations and enable them to communicate, you must find the common ground between the two civilizations. Well, if it were me, I would Find communication methods from the mathematical system. Because everything else may be different, but only mathematical laws will not change. One plus one equals two in this corner of the universe, and it will definitely equal two in that corner of the universe. Mathematical laws It is universal in this universe, and all intelligent civilizations will understand this system. Therefore, communication through the mathematical system is the most likely to be achieved."

"You are wrong." Ye Luo said, "You are right to seek common ground between different civilizations through mathematical rules, but your calculation process is wrong. Because one plus one does not equal two, one plus one equals one zero."

Wei Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Ye Luo, I don't think what you said makes sense."

"No, this is meaningful." Ye Luo said still very seriously, "Because different base systems may also cause obstacles to two civilizations that rely on mathematical rules to communicate. One civilization uses the octal system, and the other uses the decimal system. Communication between civilizations is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. But binary is different. Binary is the smallest base. It has no ambiguity and is the easiest to understand, so it is most likely to become the way of communication between different civilizations. So... What you said about using mathematical rules to communicate between different civilizations is not wrong, it is just not precise enough. The most accurate description should be that binary mathematics is used to communicate."

Wei Feng shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Okay Ye Luo, I admit you are right. In that case, the intelligent program in this instrument also uses binary data storage, so you can Analyze this data?"

"Yes." Ye Luo replied, "It's exactly what you said."

"Very good, let's go back to the previous question." Wei Feng said, "You said... the drawings you found in its database describe a very large spaceship, and the hibernation cabin of this spaceship and The drawing structure of the surrounding parts is completely consistent with the device we found?"

"Yes Captain, well, do you know what that means?"

"This seems to imply that the device we captured is just part of an extremely large spacecraft." Wei Feng said thoughtfully, "Then this will bring up another question, that is... where is the rest of its structure? Gone? It shouldn’t be a war. If it was a war...it can’t be separated in such detail. Because although the device we found is messy, it doesn’t have any damage or signs of damage.”

When he said this, Wei Feng's heart suddenly moved, and Wei Feng suddenly remembered the miniature black hole that he had separated.

"I probably know." Wei Feng said, and couldn't help but sigh: "If my guess is correct...then...then..."

Wei Feng said "then" several times in a row, but he never said the next words, but just sighed deeply.

Wei Feng and Ye Luo both fell into silence. Obviously, they all know what the final answer is, and they are almost certain that the answer is correct.

Wei Feng knew that a micro black hole would lose its mass extremely quickly. If the spacecraft shown on the drawing used this micro black hole as its power source... then it would definitely find a way to continuously replenish the black hole's mass. . But this is an empty universe, and except for the spacecraft itself, there is nothing that can replenish the black hole. Then the answer is clear and simple.

The hull structure of this spacecraft... was disassembled by this intelligent program and then put into the black hole to maintain the mass of the black hole.

"Our universe is really too vast..." After silence, Wei Feng sighed again, "It is not easy to survive in this universe."

Wei Feng couldn't help but sketch a picture in his mind. It was originally a very large spacecraft, which used the radiation energy of a miniature black hole as its energy source. But as time goes by, the mass of the micro black hole becomes smaller and smaller, and if it is not replenished with energy, it will disappear directly. So the disassembly work of the spacecraft began. At the beginning, the unimportant parts of the spacecraft were disassembled. These unimportant parts may include its shell, its backup instruments, its propulsion device, its high-power communication parts... After all the unimportant parts were disassembled, the important parts began to be disassembled... and the disassembly continued until the hibernating life finally died due to a long period of time, but the intelligent program was still leading the disassembly of the spacecraft. Until there is nothing left to dismantle.

In the end, only the hibernating cabin carrying that life and some very necessary instruments remained, and they were eventually discovered and captured by Wei Feng. Wei Feng could only imagine its majesty and size in its complete state from those drawings.

In the end, only this little bit of a spaceship that was more than a thousand meters long was left. (To be continued ~^~)
