Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

"That's ridiculous! If it really looked like that, there would be no way it would be real!"

"That's it!"

The world has no shortage of people who can fill in the blanks with their imaginations.

When this law is published to the entire population and a copy is sent to everyone,

in fact,

This effectively revealed the possible findings.

they,

Extraterrestrial intelligent life has truly been discovered!

Chapter 487 Cracking the Numbers

Rehe Fleet,

Everyone on board also received the message sent from their home planet.

In addition to the military's complete takeover of the fleet, the message also contained an order that left the scientists bewildered.

"The General Outline of the Extraterrestrial Life Contact Enforcement Act: This Act aims to better protect..."

The noisy reading aloud echoed throughout, making the entire conference room of the spaceship resemble a high school.

Upon receiving instructions from higher authorities, scientists from various departments immediately convened study sessions in groups.

It is imperative that everyone carefully study this newly enacted law.

And crucially, they are not allowed to use virtual devices!

In other words, each of them has to read this law carefully three times!

"See? Keep watching. This is to prevent some people from being too eager for quick success and causing a big disaster!"

Amid the reading aloud, several old men sighed and began to discuss among themselves amidst the noise.

“We are frontline scientists, and if we make a mistake, it will be a big mistake. This learning experience is very necessary.”

"Safety first, systems first—we understand!"

Those capable of performing such tasks are all carefully selected scientists.

In terms of the greater good, they are capable of withstanding the test and understand the decision made by those above.

after all,

Nobody wants to bring back a ship full of "pathogens".

If that's the case,

They really should commit suicide to atone for their sins!

Here, scientists are studying the contact regulations daily, while the military has completed the integration of the fleet.

"The Jehol Fleet has taken cover on the back of an asteroid at the edge of the Oberya star system. All communications that could be intercepted by the frequency spectrum are kept silent. The science team is working to decipher the intercepted signals. We need to wait for support from our home port!"

"Support from the home port has been dispatched and will arrive soon!"

The intelligence adjutant kept reporting the situation, his tone very serious.

"oh, I understand now!"

The captain of the Magnificent Feather King took a deep breath and solemnly addressed the crew members present, as well as those on several other ships connected via the optical communication band:

"Gentlemen, this is a historic moment. It is precisely at times like these that we must demonstrate the highest level of discipline. Now, the entire ship is on high alert. We do not yet know whether the extraterrestrial intelligent civilization we have encountered is benign or not, so we must prepare for the worst. Are you ready?!"

"Ready at all the time!"

In the regional communication channel using shortwave optical paths, the entire Jehol Fleet resounded with rousing voices.

They are ready.

No matter what the other party is, as long as they pose a threat, they are the sharpest sword in the hand of this universe!

Enough to kill any invading enemy!

"very good!"

Hearing the powerful shout, the flagship captain nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the ordnance officer and said sternly:

"Lock onto the wide area where the signal is coming from, set up the annihilation artillery, and be ready to launch a cross-country strike at any time!"

"understand!"

The arms adjutant accepted the order and gave a deep military salute.

This is the universe.

In the universe, any unfamiliar signal you encounter could be an enemy!

They must not be lenient; when they strike, it must be a swift and decisive kill, ensuring that the opponent has no means of harming human civilization!

The magnificent Feather King, a spaceship with a unique and symbolic name, has a menacing convex metal weapon slowly protruding from its bow. It's like a strange and captivating creature, inspiring fear just by standing there.

The spherical energy concentrator slowly reflects a condensed light; once activated, its explosive power is enough to terrify the enemy!

This is the source of our universe's confidence.

The confidence that comes from strength!

……

"Decoding in progress, reorganizing the pattern segment, reorganization failed, proceeding to the next set of deductions."

at the same time,

In this universe, on Node Island, a makeshift decryption team is working diligently with an AI assistant to decipher intercepted alien signals.

"Data error, similarity 20%, rejected."

"Data is incorrect; similarity is 25%; rejected!"

Because the signals discovered by the Jehol Fleet were communication signals within the same group and did not have their own decoding codes, this has caused a major headache for many researchers studying extraterrestrial languages.

"This isn't a language constructed using cosmological constants. It's probably just routine communication between two spaceships that got unexpectedly refracted. Damn it, the crucial parts haven't progressed at all. How are we supposed to crack this?!"

Gu Wu, a researcher of extraterrestrial languages, had messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and looked like he was about to explode.

The difficulty in deciphering this information, to put it simply, is:

The aliens picked up a signal from our space fleet that was being communicated in Chinese. Without knowing anything about the culture, history, human characteristics, and level of civilization of this great Eastern power, they attempted to decipher the signal.

What the hell are you trying to decipher?!

A compressed file containing Chinese idioms would completely ruin it!

"The assistant performed hundreds of billions of simulations and filtered out millions of possible scenarios, but because the signal was too short, we couldn't narrow down the possibilities at all."

The researcher reluctantly put down the instrument in his hand, his face filled with despair.

I thought I had landed a job that would go down in history.

It turned out to be a huge pot?!

Who the hell can decipher this?!

The available information is too limited; they simply cannot narrow down the scope.

"No, there's still a chance, there's still a chance! This message uses a ternary computer, and the three symbols at the base must be numbers. Once we've identified these three numbers, we can use the location and direction of the McCa Cluster to crack their numbers!"

The researcher was in despair, but Gu Wu felt there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

"Yes, if we can discover something from the numbers, that would be a great discovery!"

The desperate researcher's eyes suddenly lit up.

The entire communication message is so small in number that even Lao Tzu himself couldn't crack it.

Therefore, their task has now changed from successfully deciphering this message to—

If we can decipher something from this string of information, we've succeeded!

The simplest of them all are numbers!

If you can't bully language and writing, you can certainly bully numbers!

I refuse to believe that your alien civilization uses a single character to represent a number!

"Based on the model, the other party's data base is being reshaped; calculations are in progress..."

"Results exported, accuracy 90%, export complete."

The AI ​​assistant operates rapidly.

Finally, based on the approximate location of the McCa cluster and the ternary underlying code of this data, a whole string of alien numbers was determined.

“Okay, it worked!”

Upon seeing the number 90%, Gu Wu exclaimed excitedly.

As expected, you have to pick the softest persimmon!

"Quick, take a look at what kind of numbers it is!"
