Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Several researchers excitedly squeezed forward, craning their necks and peering in to observe.

"Seven number segments, this is..."

The extraterrestrial language researcher was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the deciphered numerical segments, which his assistant speculated had a "90% accuracy rate."

Seven consecutive distinct number segments,

Does this thing have any special meaning?

Chapter 488 Coordinates!

Seven consecutive segments of numbers—this was the only information Gu Wu could decipher, despite his best efforts.

The kind that absolutely cannot have any more than that.

The data I extracted was too isolated.

This is the reason why isolated cases are difficult to prove.

Gu Wu even felt that if the civilization represented by this string of data had become extinct and no other information had been left behind, then this would be the greatest unsolved mystery in the history of scientists!

That's just outrageous!

Why seven?

Gu Wu frowned, looking puzzled after exporting the data.

The scientists in the room, who all studied various languages, were also puzzled by the meaning of this number range. On the contrary, the soldier guarding the door raised an eyebrow and looked somewhat surprised.

"Squad Leader Wang, what have you discovered?"

Gu Wu was able to become the director of this station because he had his own special skills. He was very observant and quick-witted, and he spotted the guard who seemed to want to say something but hesitated at a glance.

"Oh, scholars, I don't know much about this either, but we had a course during our flight training called 'Space Bridge Teleportation and Positioning Method,' which said that seven points are generally needed for positioning when navigating or teleporting in space. I wonder if this is... some kind of coordinate system, a navigation coordinate system?"

Squad Leader Wang scratched his head, appearing somewhat reserved in front of a group of knowledgeable people.

"Navigation coordinates?!"

These words made Gu Wu's eyes light up, and he immediately said urgently:

"Assistant, immediately import this data into the McCarthy Cluster for exclusion!"

"Executing..."

When navigating in space, coordinate positioning is generally done using three-dimensional coordinates, namely XYZ. However, with the increasing demands of navigation and the high-precision navigation required for faster-than-light spacecraft, the three-dimensional coordinates have been expanded from the original XYZ axes to six points to ensure that the course does not deviate.

But there are only six points here?

Don't forget, the starting point of the spaceship's flight also counts as a point, so that makes a total of seven points!

The principle is that simple, but finding it is not so easy.

Because the destination of navigation is uncertain, these six are meant to serve the purpose of achieving that destination.

The positions of star systems and planets are fixed; however, for certain moving targets, these six punctuation marks will also move.

Now Gu Wu can only pray.

This target must be a fixed location!

"Simulation complete. Based on the McCa Cluster, the six fixed points used by the civilization that sent the message are: Omega AB, Lola CD, Sirius II, and Arcturus I, these six superstars."

Change your mindset, and you'll be able to solve problems faster.

The AI ​​assistant immediately locked onto the target.

These six stars, viewed from within the McCain Cluster, would stretch their movement over hundreds of millions of years, making them perfect punctuation marks for location.

"So this is a fixed point, possibly a star system?"

Gu Wuxin's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

Have they discovered each other's home planet?!

"Yes, I've already programmed the model, the location is determined, and the coordinates show—the Hoshiguchi star system!"

While explaining,

The assistant activated the holographic projection, projecting an image of a star system.

The Star Palace Xu star system is located in the core region of the McCa star cluster, and is only 0.7 light-years away from the nearby Star Palace Wu, which is extremely close!

This also results in the stars in the two star systems undergoing a binary motion with a period of ten million years.

And now,

All evidence suggests that

It is possible that an extraterrestrial intelligent civilization, completely different from humans, was born in these two star systems!

……

"Tap tap tap tap!"

Zhao Guangyao hurriedly pushed open the door and entered the conference room of Project 237. He quickly went to Zhu Lao's side and said with delight:

"Good news, the temporary decryption team has made progress."

"That message is an isolated case and cannot be decoded at present, but they deciphered the target of the other party's journey through the logical chain of the data itself. It is the coordinates of a star system!"

"..."

Old Zhu took the document from Zhao Guangyao, glanced at it, and pointed to the data, asking:

"These are navigation coordinates. Have you figured out where the starting point of this data is?"

"Based on data calculations, the distance between the starting point and the ending point is exactly 0.7 light-years, and we suspect that Xinggongwu is the starting point."

Zhao Guangyao organized his thoughts and immediately answered.

"So, the Xinggong and Wuxu star systems both have influence over the other?"

Old Zhu raised an eyebrow and said warily:

"It's able to cross star systems, even though it's only 0.7 light-years, it's enough to explain a lot."

"What Mr. Zhu said is true. What should we do next?"

Zhao Guangyao frowned, finding the matter quite troublesome.

"Let the fleet go first. We'll circle the Tiangong and Wuxu star systems, each a hundred light-years away, and search them bit by bit to find out what's going on."

Old Zhu sighed, gently tossed the document in his hand onto the table, and gave the order with a helpless expression.

What else can we do?

This is the universe itself; whether it's a blessing or a curse, they have to grit their teeth and go for it!

"The military also thinks so: let's first assess the extent of this civilization's exploration of the surrounding area before proceeding to the next step."

Zhao Guangyao nodded and issued the order through the intelligent system.

When encountering an unfamiliar civilization, one should be this cautious!

After all, you can't just fly up there and use a probe to photograph someone's home planet, can you?

Put yourself in their shoes.

Imagine some idiot suddenly flying to a place 6 light-years away from the solar system, taking a probe to look at the solar system and Alpha Centauri. This universe would be furious.

This is tantamount to declaring war!

The interior of a star system is your own territory. If you send a probe there, who knows if you're actually probing the internal defenses and then launching a targeted attack?

Therefore, this universe ultimately decided to adopt a roundabout strategy.

By employing an encirclement strategy, they gradually searched for traces of the other party's civilized activities.

By observing the geographical scope of their activities, one can roughly analyze their overall level of civilization.

"This is humanity's 'first' contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, we must be extremely cautious!"

Old Zhu nodded.

The plan has been issued, and he believes his people can complete the task well.

"……Yes!"

Zhao Guangyao's lips twitched slightly when he heard this, but he still nodded in response.

"Dong dong dong..."

Then, a crisp knock sounded on the door.

"The door is open, please come in!"

"Bang!"

The door opened, and the tall Horus walked in, carrying a document. He scratched his head and chuckled:

"Professor Zhu, this is this month's research report."

"Oh, you can put it there!"

Old Zhu pointed to the cabinet by the door.
