The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 781 Sound Sequence (Two in One)

In the kitchen, everyone sat on low stools, holding their bowls of porridge and drinking. The hot porridge slightly dispelled the coldness in their stomachs.

As soon as Xi Shuangyu put down the bowl, she immediately urged, "Ms. Ling, please tell me what you mean? What do you mean by you have solved it?"

Liu Sheng raised his head and drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, then gently put the bowl down, raised his hand to light up the spiritual message, and a screen of light was projected out.

As the light screen appeared, the noise echoed in the house again, and a series of undulating wavy lines appeared on the light screen.

"This is a waveform diagram of the sound." Liu Sheng said lightly.

Except for Qingxue who had heard Liu Sheng's sharing, everyone else was slightly stunned. They obviously did not expect that sound could be presented so intuitively.

By comparison, their intuitive listening seemed a little too primitive.

Also, why are other people’s spiritual messages so advanced?

Everyone looked at the spiritual message in Liu Sheng's hand, feeling a little jealous.

"But... we can't tell anything just from this..." Xi Shuangyu frowned and thought.

"If that's all, then it won't work." Liu Sheng said calmly, "But all information can be broken down into the most basic units. If we simplify it, maybe we can understand it."

She tapped her finger lightly, and the waveform on the light screen enlarged, and her finger passed over the highest and lowest points.

"If 'one' represents high and 'zero' represents low..."

"Wait," Guo Yishou frowned and interrupted directly, "Why do you have to use 'one' and 'zero'?"

He cares more about this.

"Because this is binary." Liu Sheng explained softly.

"Binary?"

Everyone murmured and repeated, seeming to understand but not quite.

"…Binary is the most basic encoding method. It can store and transmit any information in the simplest form. Just like when you practice, you have to break down the huge mental method into core words and then combine them for use. The same is true for information."

After Liu Sheng explained what binary was, groups of digital sequences immediately appeared on the light screen, scrolling endlessly.

"But in this case, is the sound just a simple waveform converted into a series of numbers?" Qiu Jingyi asked thoughtfully, "If so, wouldn't the original sound layers be completely lost? The heavenly sound we hear is layered and far more complex than this."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "Yes, the real complexity does not lie in these waveforms themselves, but in their multi-dimensional projections."

She flipped her hand, and the waveform on the light screen suddenly began to deform, as if it had broken away from the constraints of the plane and gradually turned into layers of waves surging in the kitchen.

Those number series also quickly dissipated into longer chapters.

Everyone's eyes widened. The waveform in front of them seemed like a tapestry that was constantly folding in the air, becoming more and more complicated and twisted, with the lines tangled together in a dizzying way.

But at this point, they also somewhat understood why they became more and more mentally distorted after listening to it...

"These signals may not be what we hear at first. They come from a higher-dimensional space. When projected into our world, they must have been folded and distorted, and some information may even be hidden or obscured." Liu Sheng explained, "That's why we find it so difficult to understand and decipher."

"Like a shadow?" Qingxue suddenly realized, "A person's shadow falls on the ground, and information such as gender, appearance, age, etc. are omitted, leaving only a dark outline."

"That's right." Liu Sheng nodded, "But unlike simple shadows, 'topological folding' may occur during the dimensionality reduction of this information. In other words, content that was originally far apart may overlap due to projection, and originally coherent information may be dispersed after dimensionality reduction."

She waved her finger, and the waveform on the light screen shattered instantly, turning into countless scattered fragments, intertwining and splicing each other, like a shredded page of a book.

Xi Shuangyu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Isn't this even more difficult?"

Liu Sheng smiled: "So, linear decoding alone is not enough. We need topological mapping to restore these fragments to their original structure."

"How to do it?" Qiu Jingyi couldn't help but ask.

Liu Sheng tapped lightly, and a complex information network immediately appeared on the light screen. Some of the bands in it flickered, and seemed to be related to each other, but were broken due to dimensionality reduction.

"First, we need to find recurring patterns, just like the collation of ancient books. If two similar words are different, there may be a transcription error. Similarly, if certain pattern combinations appear repeatedly in different time periods, we can infer that they may belong to the same piece of information, but were separated after dimensionality reduction."

"Second, we need to reconstruct its spatial position." She pointed to some staggered bands. "These signals are distributed very far in the spectrum, but they are in a certain topological structure, perhaps originally adjacent. We can try to restore them."

As she operated, the signal lines on the light screen gradually intertwined and closed, as if piecing together a complete scripture.

"This... can actually be put back together?" Guo Yishou couldn't help but marvel.

Liu Sheng smiled calmly: "Of course, this requires a lot of calculations and comparisons. Time is limited and I only found a part of it."

Of course, this is just her conservative statement.

She didn't want to reveal too much.

A longer string of characters appeared on the light curtain.

"We hypothesized that certain signal patterns correspond to certain language units, like a secret code - if we find the pattern, we can translate the information."

“But... the sequence formed by these sounds should be vast, right?” Qiu Jingyi frowned.

"Yes, so we have to collect them and then compare them."

Liu Sheng nodded, and a large area of ​​densely packed symbols was projected onto the light screen, which seemed to be some kind of ancient scripture and looked extremely complex.

“This is a corpus I’ve compiled that we can use to match recurring patterns in the signal.”

She pointed at the words on the screen.

"For example, these syllables have the highest repetition rate, and they are very likely to form basic grammatical units, similar to common meanings such as 'yes', 'no', 'you', and 'I'."

Everyone held their breath and was gradually attracted by her explanation.

"It's like when we decode ancient books. We can't directly understand a whole unfamiliar language, but if we find the meaning of certain keywords, we can piece together the meaning of the whole sentence bit by bit."

The string of "ones" and "zeros" on the light screen was gradually matched and parsed.

Finally, a short line of text slowly emerged:

Don't answer! Don't answer! Don't answer!

I don't know since when, there was only silence in the kitchen.

They held their bowls, but didn't drink the porridge. They just opened their mouths.

He seemed to be shocked by Liu Sheng's fancy operations, and seemed to be fixed in his mind by the short warning on the light screen.

"So..." Xi Shuangyu's throat was slightly dry, and after a while, he spoke with difficulty, "What does this mean?"

Liu Sheng shrugged: "Perhaps some unknown existence is warning us, a warning that transcends dimensions and time."

"How can it be like this?" Li Chu murmured in a low voice, "Gao Wei? Where exactly is it?"

Zhang Chengling's face turned slightly pale: "I can't answer. What exactly is the answer to?"

"enough!"

Guo Yishou suddenly slammed the bench, and the loud sound awakened everyone from their deep thoughts.

"It's just a sentence, don't scare yourself!"

Although he spoke toughly, his face was pale. "Guo Yishou is right." Liu Sheng suddenly said.

Guo Yishou was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Sheng to agree with him. He couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Don't speculate too much. We still have too little information."

Liu Sheng's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, his tone still calm.

"We can't even be sure whether this warning is for us, or for...someone earlier, or...someone else."

Of course, only Liu Sheng knows whether this sentence is soothing.

Everyone just kept silent, the porridge bubbling on the stove, just like their restless hearts.

"Alright." Liu Sheng raised his hand and waved, and the scrolling characters on the light screen disappeared. "Next, listen to my arrangements. I guarantee that you can all join Senior Nangong's training studio!"

Everyone immediately perked up.

"Of course, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools, so it is more important that we transform this Tianyin receiving device..."

"According to this design."

Everyone's eyes became brighter, not daring to miss any details.

On the light screen, an extremely detailed sketch slowly unfolded.

It was a huge arc-shaped bowl, facing the sky, like a giant eye gazing at the stars, or like a lake, standing quietly in the valley.

Liu Sheng pointed at the structure and continued to magnify the details to explain:

"…the overall surface can capture more and wider information. If necessary, we can adjust it to a suitable angle to more effectively capture signals in a specific frequency band while reducing noise interference…"

Finally, he clapped his hands and raised the corners of his lips slightly:

"Then, we can complete the task assigned to us by Senior Sister Nangong... Senior. How about it? Isn't it very simple?"

However, all she got in response was more silence.

After a while, Qingxue came to her senses first. She silently picked up Liu Sheng's empty bowl, filled it with a new bowl of hot barley porridge, and handed it to Liu Sheng with both hands.

"Although I don't quite understand...but it doesn't matter, anyway, just follow Shengsheng!"

……

Thus, in this snowy valley, the action began in full swing.

In order to improve efficiency, the six people were divided into two teams.

Qingxue, Zhang Chengling, and Li Chu were responsible for building the corpus.

Xi Shuangyu, Qiu Jingyi and Guo Yishou were busy building what Liu Sheng called "Tian'er Lake" in the wind and snow.

"Why is this thing called the Sky Ear?" Guo Yishou put down the hammer and looked at the already spreading Sky Ear Lake, frowning and muttering, "It clearly looks more like an eye, shouldn't it be called the Sky Eye?"

"I don't know... Miss Ling seemed to vaguely say that the name was taken. I don't understand, but Tian'er seems to be quite descriptive."

Xi Shuangyu shook his head, his eyes dazzled by the silver light reflected from Tianer Lake, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"She always says things that are hard for people to understand." Guo Yishou complained gloomily, "I don't know where this weirdo came from."

"I heard that she graduated from the National Academy."

Qiu Jingyi couldn't help but join in the gossip.

He connected the panel to the edge of another piece using a welding magic tool. The scorching flames made him sweat in the snow, and he could only raise his hand to wipe it.

"The weirdo from the National Academy." Guo Yishou defined it decisively.

"Stop talking, maybe Miss Ling can hear it?" Xi Shuangyu reminded in a low voice.

"Junior sister, don't talk nonsense. We are so far away, how can she hear us?" Qiu Jingyi shook his head and smiled.

"But..." Xi Shuangyu frowned, as if thinking of something, and said hesitantly, "She always seems to know exactly what we did, and can point out any mistakes in time. It always feels like... it's like she has eyes and ears on us."

"If she can really hear, then she would be a god!" Guo Yishou sneered with disbelief.

In a corner that the three people couldn't see, a small golden ear poked out from under the panel, trembled slightly, and then shrank back silently.

In the house on the other side of the ridge, Liu Sheng was checking the model written by Qingxue. Hearing the discussions on Tianer Lake, he couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"What's wrong? Shengsheng, did I make a ridiculous mistake?" Qingxue immediately became nervous when she saw Liu Sheng's smile.

Zhang Chengling, who was always confident, quickly took the notebook back and checked it carefully.

Liu Sheng shook his head: "No, I was just laughing at the sound of the wind in the valley."

Qingxue stared at her suspiciously, and after a while she curled her lips: "Shengsheng just loves to joke..."

Although she said this, she felt relieved in her heart, and her worries were temporarily put at ease, but her eyes were still fixed on Liu Sheng's expression.

After a moment, Liu Sheng closed the notebook in his hand and smiled faintly: "Well, the model is fine. Now that you have learned it, you can work with me."

Qingxue's heart completely returned to its original place, and suddenly a huge sense of accomplishment surged in her heart. She rushed over without hesitation and hugged Liu Sheng.

"That's great, thank you, Shengsheng!"

"Don't worry, this is for you."

With a red face, Liu Sheng broke free from Qingxue's arms and took out an iron pot engraved with exquisite runes and gave it to Qingxue.

Qingxue exclaimed, "What is this?"

“You’ll know once you put it on.”

"Oh……"

Qingxue put it on obediently, and after a while, her eyes changed, flashing with a strange obsession.

Zhang Chengling took one look and immediately handed over his notebook: "Miss Ling, please take a look at mine."

Liu Sheng checked for a while and nodded, "You can do it too."

So he also gave Zhang Chengling an exquisite iron pot.

Li Chu, who was standing by, saw that they all brought cookware with them, and they looked funny, but also seemed to have a strange feeling, as if they had entered a mysterious realm.

He looked down at the half-written manuscript paper, a trace of anxiety in his eyes. How could he smile?
He can't fall behind!

For the sake of this shiny iron pot, the ink flew across the paper quickly, and the writing speed suddenly increased a lot.

……

Time flies, and in the wind, snow and busyness, a month goes by in a flash.

Finally, the day for acceptance of the results arrived.
