I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 372 Let's go big, translating alien signals
Crown Prince Salman arrived with his pet tiger and lion, further enlivening the atmosphere, with reporters and guests from various countries standing up to applaud and cheer.
Holdan hurried to greet Salman, smiling as he asked, "Your Highness, are you trying to see if the Sihai Intelligent sound wave converter can translate the sounds of tigers and lions?"
Salman laughed heartily and said into the microphone, "That's right, I want to know what they're thinking. Mr. Zhang, may I test it?"
Zhang Xin immediately replied with a smile, "Of course! Our products can translate the sound waves emitted by any living being, including tigers and lions, of course."
Salman said happily, "Excellent! Men, bring my tiger and lion up here."
Although both beasts are Salman's pets, beasts are beasts, and if they meet, a fierce battle is inevitable.
When the staff pushed the iron cages containing tigers and lions onto the stage, the two beasts were already howling and roaring inside.
Sihai Sound Wave Converter immediately provided a translation.
Lion: You big cat, come here and die! I'll bite you to death! I've wanted to kill you for three years. Once you're dead, all the meat will be mine. Today is the perfect occasion to let the whole world know whether our lion race is more powerful or your tiger race is stronger.
Tiger: Longhair, I don't usually beat you up because I don't want to anger my master. After all, I depend on him for food, and I'm also afraid he'll shoot me. Otherwise, you would have been in my belly three years ago. Understand?
It's no wonder some people don't believe in Sihai Intelligent's sound wave converter; its translation is just too user-friendly.
Zhang Xin immediately warned, "Your Highness, the two seem to be very hostile. We must not release them, otherwise they will become uncontrollable."
Salman chuckled and said, "No, they play together all the time and have never fought. Besides, I've made ample preparations, so even if they did start fighting, I can handle it."
This is their territory, so of course they have the final say.
Zhang Xin immediately gave his colleagues a wink, and the others understood and quietly moved away from the stage.
Zhang Xin handed the sound wave converter to Holdan, then quickly retreated, trying to stay as far away from the tiger and lion as possible. If things went wrong, he would not hesitate to turn around and run.
Although Holdan was also afraid, he dared not embarrass the Crown Prince, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and stay on the stage.
At this moment, the live stream chat is filled with comments.
"Wow, from Yang Chen's sound wave converter translation, it seems like they're going to fight, but the Crown Prince says they have a good relationship and have never fought. Now we'll see whether the sound wave converter's translation is accurate or the Crown Prince's is."
"If they fought, the lion would definitely win. Look how thick its fur is and how strong its body is. Without the protection of its fur, the tiger would be no match for the lion. To put it simply, the lion can make countless mistakes, but the tiger will never be able to land a throat lock. However, the lion only needs one chance to put the tiger in a throat lock."
"Stop joking, lion fans. Tigers have no weaknesses except for not having wings. In terms of agility and explosive power, lions and tigers are not even in the same league. A tiger can shatter a car window with one slap, can a lion do that? Lions can't even jump, how can they fight?"
"Which is stronger, the tiger or the lion? Supporters on both sides are unwilling to admit the other's superiority. If the Sihai Sound Wave Converter's translation is accurate, it can serve as a testament to this."
……
Seeing the comments debating whether tigers or lions are stronger, Yang Chen said, "They're both very strong, so it's hard to say who's stronger. But one thing is for sure: if you let them out of their cages, they'll definitely fight. I'm sure of it!"
As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, the cages for the tiger and the lion were opened. The lion walked out majestically, while the tiger leaped out with a bound.
Just as the crown prince was about to introduce his two beloved pets, the lion charged directly at the tiger, and a fierce battle was about to break out between the two.
The tiger stood up on its two hind legs and unleashed a series of punches on the face of the charging lion with its two front paws.
The lion opened its mouth to bite, but failed to catch the tiger and instead took several solid punches from it.
The crowd immediately escorted the crown prince off the stage, and the zookeepers responsible for managing and caring for the tigers and lions rushed forward to try to separate them.
However, the two beasts were so enraged that neither was willing to let the other go.
The tiger grabbed the lion's neck with its legs and threw it to the side. Then they entered a ground battle. At this point, the lion was finally able to use its biting ability and was no longer just passively taking hits to the face as it had at the beginning.
The lion's mane did indeed play a significant role; several times, the tiger tried to bite its throat but failed to lock its jaws, as the lion's thick mane blocked its teeth.
However, tigers have flexible forelimbs to assist them, making it difficult for lions to bite them.
Seeing that it was impossible to separate the tiger and the lion, the zookeeper had no choice but to administer tranquilizers to them.
Soon the two fiercely fighting beasts stopped, their movements gradually slowing down until they stopped reacting altogether.
The Crown Prince was extremely embarrassed. He ignored Zhang Xin's advice and insisted on releasing the tiger and lion, making a huge fool of himself in front of reporters from various countries.
Zhang Xin quickly stepped forward and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for cooperating with our performance. You may not know this, but this was a play we put on with Your Highness to prove that our sound wave converter is absolutely accurate and effective. After watching this lion and tiger fight, do you have any more questions about our product?"
The reporters and audience at the scene immediately responded with applause, clearly indicating that everyone had no doubts about the Sihai Sound Wave Converter.
The Crown Prince immediately smiled and shook hands with Zhang Xin, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, and thank you, Mr. Yang. I hereby announce the purchase of 100 million sets of the fully equipped Sihai acoustic wave converter, with full payment in advance."
Zhang Xin immediately said happily, "Thank you for your support, Your Highness. We will ship the goods as soon as possible."
The Crown Prince laughed heartily and said, "If we, Liad, are to become the first cyber city on Earth, we must ensure that all our products are the latest technology. I'll call Mr. Yang later and have the government of the Sand Kingdom sign an agreement with him. In the future, if any new products developed by his companies are of use to us, we will be the first to sign a purchase agreement."
Zhang Xin quickly said, "Thank you, thank you, Your Highness, for your support. I will report to Chairman Yang later, and you can contact him directly to discuss it. Next, we will proceed with the last test project of the day. However, whether it will be successful is still uncertain."
The crown prince immediately asked, "What test? We'll help you as much as we can."
Zhang Xin replied, "Before I came here, Chairman Yang instructed me that if everything went smoothly, I should ask the Harvard team for help on-site to borrow the original alien sound they had captured from NASA so that our sound wave converter could try to translate it. Now that the Harvard team has left, I am too insignificant to borrow this original sound from NASA. I would appreciate it if Your Highness could help make the arrangements."
The crown prince burst into excited laughter: "Did I hear that right? Is it that crazy? Are you sure you want to try to decipher alien voices?"
Zhang Xin laughed heartily and said, "Of course. If it can be translated, it will benefit all mankind. If it can't be translated, there's no harm in trying."
The reporters at the scene immediately applauded and cheered, clearly also curious to know if the sound wave converter could translate alien signals into human language. The Crown Prince immediately replied, "No problem, I'll contact the Bald Eagles right now."
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, and the Crown Prince then made a phone call to the President's office in front of everyone.
At this moment, the viewers watching the live stream also got excited.
"Oh my god! There's even a surprise segment!"
"This is insane! If we can really translate alien signals, we can determine whether there are alien civilizations in the universe."
"This concerns the future of all mankind. The Bald Eagles must hand over the original voice, or they will be making an enemy of all mankind."
"If the sound wave converter can translate alien signals, I swear I will be Yang Chen's die-hard fan from now on, and I will never oppose him again."
"At first, everyone thought the purpose of a sound wave transducer was to understand what their pets were saying, but now I know that's just its most basic application. I hope it can be translated, so that it can prove the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations in the universe, and that humanity is no longer alone."
……
At that moment, top officials from various departments of the Bald Eagle were staring blankly at the ringing phone in the presidential office.
The crown prince dialed again and again, making five attempts in a row, unwilling to give up.
Commerce Department official Chrisson said, "Why don't we just answer the phone? At this time, we can generously lend them the original audio and gain a good reputation. If we refuse or pretend we didn't answer the phone, people all over the world will think we are selfish, and even our own citizens may oppose us."
Hussein Marcel, head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said: "I agree! We also need to know what that sound means, don't we? We can still salvage some of our reputation with this original sound."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and the person in charge had no choice but to accept their suggestion.
The head of the household reluctantly picked up the phone and started talking to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince explained the situation and asked the leader of the United States to consider the future of all mankind and to ask NASA to lend the original audio to the Sihai Sound Wave Transformer to see if it could be translated.
The leader of the Bald Eagle immediately laughed and said, "You said you're thinking about the future of all mankind, so of course we'll support you unconditionally. I'll call the NASA administrator right now and have him contact you and play the original audio for you."
The crown prince laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, thank you. On behalf of all mankind, I thank you. Haha..."
The leader of the Bald Eagle gang immediately slammed down the phone in anger, cursing, "Fuck! So we did all the work, and he got to be the good guy. What a fucking coward!"
A few minutes later, NASA Administrator Michael Duffy called Crown Prince Salman.
"Hello, Your Highness, the original audio you requested is ready. May we play it now?" Duffy asked.
The Crown Prince immediately replied, "Wait a moment, let's prepare."
The crown prince immediately placed the phone next to the sound wave converter and said loudly, "It's ready, play it!"
Everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle to happen.
A few seconds later, a strange sound came from the phone.
Subsequently, the Sihai Sound Wave Converter translated the sound.
"Are there extraterrestrial civilizations? Please, please save us. We are currently in the 12th galaxy of the fourth universe. We have experienced a massive explosion, and our own spaceships cannot escape this area. We beg extraterrestrial civilizations to lend a helping hand and save our civilization. Thank you. Thank you."
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the bilingual (Dragon script and English) text displayed on the big screen.
Yang Chen, who was watching the live stream, was also stunned, because this meant that extraterrestrial civilizations really existed in the universe, and their civilizations were obviously more advanced than Earth's, because they already had spaceships.
Unfortunately, their fourth universe, the 12th galaxy, exploded, and their entire civilization was likely destroyed.
but.
This result may not be accurate.
Because this so-called original sound is not real sound. Sound cannot travel in the universe. What NASA initially received was an electromagnetic wave signal, which was then converted into a sound that humans can hear.
Sound wave converters are only effective for sounds emitted by living organisms; it's uncertain whether they are effective for sounds converted from electromagnetic waves.
If the sound wave converter translates correctly, this distress signal to extraterrestrial civilizations is approximately 5 light-years away from Earth, meaning it was sent 5 years ago.
If no other civilization had come to their rescue, that civilization would have been destroyed long ago after all these years.
The Crown Prince exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Zhang, this...this has really been translated! Is it accurate? How can we verify its accuracy?"
Zhang Xin quickly replied, "I'm not sure if this is accurate either. I'll call Chairman Yang and ask him to explain it to everyone. I can't explain it anymore."
The Crown Prince nodded, and Zhang Xin immediately called Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen answered the phone, Zhang Xin immediately asked, "Chairman Yang, are you watching the live stream?"
Yang Chen hummed in agreement.
"What do you think?" Zhang Xin asked again.
Yang Chen replied, "From my technical standpoint, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this translation. This technology is only effective for sounds emitted by living beings; I cannot guarantee whether it can accurately translate sounds after electromagnetic waves are converted into sound waves. However, practically speaking, since it can accurately translate the region of the 12th Milky Way in the fourth universe, I believe it should be accurate. I reiterate that the sound wave converter is only effective for sounds emitted by living beings; it is ineffective for sounds emitted by other objects, and it may not be effective for sound waves converted from electromagnetic waves. You can refer to this translation, but do not use it as scientific evidence."
At this point, the crown prince asked, "If sound waves emitted by a living organism are converted into electromagnetic waves, and then converted back into sound waves, aren't those sound waves still emitted by a living organism? Would a sound wave converter be effective for the converted sound waves?"
Yang Chen replied, "If the converted sound waves are exactly the same as the sound waves emitted by the living organism, then it will be effective. Otherwise, it will be ineffective. So, the problem now is that no one can be sure whether the sound waves converted by NASA are exactly the same as the original sound waves emitted by the organism. Therefore, I still cannot determine whether this translation is accurate or not. Please take it as a reference only and not as scientific evidence." (End of this chapter)
