I kidnapped an alien civilization

State M, Pennsylvania, JWST Telescope Ground Command Center

In front of the building, a flag with a flat earth printed on a white cloth fluttered in the wind, and dozens of young people waved their arms and shouted loudly: "Damn astronomers, dare to deceive the public, the earth is flat, and there is nothing in the universe." There are no alien planets”

"Hang the astronomer!"

"Burn the telescope!"

"Humans don't need science!"

They were excited, as if they would smash the glass of the central gate with a stick in their hands in the next moment, rush into the building and drag out the staff inside to parade in the street.

Director Kumar stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, but he wasn't worried at all. Because an orange cordon had already been pulled up in front of the building, dozens of heavily armed policemen were pointing their black guns at the demonstrators.

The cordon is the police line of defense, and they will not hesitate to shoot any demonstrators who cross the line without authorization.

Director Kumar knew this, so he was not worried.

The demonstrators also know this, so they can keep their distance despite their angry expressions.

"Honey, where did these cowards come from?" A seductive woman in a tight miniskirt appeared next to him at some point, "What does a flat earth mean?"

The thin lips are as delicate as rose petals, and the long black silk legs are particularly eye-catching.

Director Kumar couldn't help swallowing secretly: "Secretary Ruth, this is the office, please pay attention to the name."

Ruth's small mouth was slightly turned up, and she leaned coquettishly beside him, a crimson fragrance wafted out of her nostrils.

"My dear, there is no one else here."

"Just explain it to me, an ignorant girl."

Suddenly, Kumar's bones softened, and he expressed pity: "The demonstrators downstairs are from the Flat Earth Church, and they are a group of anti-scientists."

"What do you mean anti-scientist?" Ruth straightened her body with wide, innocent eyes.

A beautiful flower is about to bloom.

Director Kumar dodged his eyes: "Ruth, you usually have to read more newspapers."

"In this world, not everyone believes in science, just take the group of demonstrators downstairs."

"They firmly believe that the earth is a flat disc, the center of the disc is the North Pole, and the outer circle of the disc is the South Pole. The South Pole wraps the ocean, so the sea water will not flow out."

"There is no universe in the world at all, and naturally there are no so-called aliens, so they are so angry."

Ruth raised her small face, blinked her long eyelashes, and her eyes were full of admiration.

Director Kumar said seriously: "The lack of scientific knowledge makes them a bunch of idiots, so you young people should read more books."

"You're awesome!" Ruth lowered her head with a charming face, lightly stepped on the floor with the toe of her shoe, and made a "boom." "It's raining outside now, do you want me to take the umbrella out of the umbrella bag?"

Director Kumar was stunned for a moment, then he realized instantly, and his face showed joy: "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Water is the wave of the eye, and the mountain is the gathering of eyebrows. Want to ask pedestrians where to go? Where the eyebrows and eyes are full.

"Beep."

"Beep."

The phone rang in a hurry, and Director Kumar answered the phone angrily: "Henry, you better have a good reason!"

"Director, the JWST telescope suddenly received a message from an alien spacecraft!"

Director Kumar was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Damn!", I don't know whether it was because of the message from the alien spacecraft or because of the "good thing" being disturbed.

He tidied his clothes in front of the mirror, and after confirming that everything was normal, he took out a red pass card from the office drawer.

Ruth's eyes lit up, she stepped forward and whispered, "Director, can you take me with you?"

"...I really want to, but commanding the communication room requires level 1 authority, and you are just an intern secretary." Director Kumar showed embarrassment.

"You just said that young people should learn more?" Ruth lowered her head, pretending to be angry, "Besides, you are the boss of the center, don't you have such rights?"

On the large screen in the command and communication room, the simulated image of the JWST telescope rotates continuously. Dozens of middle-aged men in blue uniforms frowned and stared at the strange symbols sent back from space.

"What's the situation?" Director Kumar pushed open the door and went straight to the chief engineer, Professor Hunter.

Professor Hunter quickly operated on the keyboard with both hands, "20 minutes ago, the avalanche photoelectric cell array of the orbiting telescope suddenly received a strange light wave."

"The starting point of this beam of light is that alien spaceship!"

"Aliens actually use light wave communication?" This has surpassed Director Kumar's cognition. As an excellent astronomer in country M, he has a lot of research on deep space communication.

There are two major difficulties in deep space transmission, one is cosmic background noise, and the other is path loss.

In order to overcome the background noise, humans have to choose extremely high-frequency radio as a means of communication, which can "dodge" the same-frequency interference.

At the same time, in order to overcome the signal path loss of more than 300dB, deep space communication can only rely on larger diameter antennas to receive signals, and use greater antenna gain to combat path loss.

Due to the extremely easy loss of light waves, it is absolutely impossible to use it as a means of communication in human cognition, but.

The truth is right in front of us!

"The analysis is complete!" Professor Hunter looked at the data on the computer and said in surprise: "Low-frequency light waves!"

"How can it be?"

"Don't worry about light waves!" Director Kumar asked impatiently: "Send the information to the supercomputing center quickly, and ask them to decipher it immediately!"

"I want to know what the hell the alien ship is trying to do!"

In fact, as early as 50 years ago, the world's astronomy community had discussed what to do when humans on Earth and alien civilizations encountered each other. After ten years of research, a consistent conclusion has been reached: first of all, we must understand the way aliens communicate.

There are different sounds in ten miles, but different customs in hundreds of miles. The same pronunciation and the same gesture may express different meanings in different places. For example, in most parts of the world, nodding means agreeing and shaking the head means denying. But in India, nodding means denying, shaking the head means agreeing.

This completely opposite way of "expression" can still appear between the same biological race. Alien creatures from hundreds of light years must have a "language" that is very different from humans.

Therefore, it is very important to correctly understand the intention of aliens.

Professor Hunter's eyes widened, staring at the computer screen motionless.

"What's wrong?" Director Kumar realized that things might have changed strangely, and looked at the big screen.

Suddenly let out an exclamation: "This!"

"There is no need to crack it." Professor Hunter muttered to himself with a frustrated expression, "Obviously, these aliens are here to destroy the earth."

Everyone in the hall stared at the big screen dumbfounded. In the corner, secretary Ruth took out a lipstick from her pocket and daubed her lips carefully.
