Chapter 1426： call (2/2)

"Ancestral Peak Listening Station?" Gao Wen frowned slightly, and immediately realized the origin of this document, "Is it the ‘Starry Sky Signal’ that they captured the new content?"

Since the initial discovery of the signals between the stars, Gawain has personally promoted the establishment of a large number of monitoring stations at home and abroad to capture those occasional "Xinghai Communications", and the Ancestral Peak monitoring station located in the territory of the Ogure tribe is so far The site with the most "achievements" is confusing to scholars, but recent intelligence shows that Ancestral Peak is most likely a very special "site" on this planet, and there may be a deep blue one in its deep layer. The magical power of the well, and at the same time, due to the influence of the source, the time and space structure of the entire ancestral peak is unusual, which makes it seem to be more likely to receive "messages from afar" than other places on the planet, and now, After nearly a year, this area really caught the call among the stars again.

And the "call" it captured this time is obviously very different from the past.

Gawain's gaze scanned the overview at the beginning of the document, which included the working status of the monitoring station and the original signal pattern when the signal was captured this time. Heidi's voice came from the side: "...interference in the ancestral peak area. After the disappearance, the local monitoring station has resumed operation. The local fairies first noticed the abnormality in the antenna. These signals seem to have converted a new transmission method. The transmission efficiency is higher than before, and the content is more than before. Complicated, we are not yet sure whether this is a targeted adjustment or just due to the technology upgrade of the sender...

"About two days ago, after adapting to the new signal mode, the goblin technicians of the Ogure tribe successfully recorded a relatively clear and complete communication, and then based on the'dictionary' brought back by General Philip from the Wiplanton Observatory. ', the scholars have tentatively translated this newsletter, and we have found some...clear words and sentences, the content of which is a little nervous."

Gawain's gaze swept across the document slowly, and those translated texts specially printed in bold font came into view clearly and sharply:

"...Call the unknown civilization Alpha... This message will be sent in a regular loop. If you do exist and are capable of responding, please answer... The cycle is approaching, the message left by the sailor... There is evidence that the stars are about to flicker... We need to call each other... Unknown civilization Alpha, if you do exist in the target location, please answer, call...please answer..."

Gawain fell into a long silence, as if contemplating, until a few minutes later he broke the silence in a low voice: "There are a lot of unreadable parts on this."

"Yes, this is the limit that the current'star solvers' can achieve," Heidi nodded and said, "Although the'dictionary' brought back by General Philip can interpret alien characters in theory, it is actually used in the process. We found that the language and characters used in these Xinghai communications have changed slightly, just as our characters will change with the development of society, and the characters of'their' have obviously changed in the past few centuries. But this It is only a secondary reason, and a more important reason is that the language logic of'their' is different from ours, and it will take time to fully adapt."

The dream-like name of the star solver comes from the ancient legends of the spirit tribe. The ancestors of the spirit tribe used poetry to describe the thorny days, and called the "star solver" the oldest prophets and wise men in the forest.

They were the earliest meteorologists and astronomers. In many of Ogure’s poems, these people who were the first to look up at the sky were described as being able to predict the cloudy, sunny, rainy and snowy by observing the trajectory of the stars, and listening to the secret echoes in the sky. Good and bad, after a long period of time, these predictive abilities that were once regarded as "miracle" have gradually been summarized and evolved into the knowledge of meteorology and astronomy that modern people are familiar with, but the name of the star solver is still passed down in poetry to this day. , And it has been given a new meaning today.

After Philip found the ruins of the Verpland Observatory in the wasteland of Gondor, and brought back from the ancient observatory the "alien dictionary" left by Sir Scott to the world, Gao Wen ordered the establishment of a special A team of scholars from China came to study this legacy and started the translation of that "alien signal" based on it. This work was boring and difficult. Learning an "alien language" from scratch is by no means easy. What's more, the language logic of this alien civilization is very different from the intelligent creatures of this planet, and scholars have only a dictionary that has been outdated for centuries, and occasionally it will be caught by monitoring stations everywhere. That’s it, the "newsletter" composed entirely of mathematical language and abstract symbols.

The Duchess of the North, Victoria, is familiar with the ancient legends of various countries. After this team of scholars was formed, she proposed the name "Star Solver", and now the Star Solver not only refers specifically to the scholar group established by the Cecil Empire, It also refers to the "translation teams" established by Typhon and the Silver Empire, as well as scholars who are dedicated to analyzing alien signals in transnational projects.

Although the war has just ended, this work has started since Philip found the "dictionary", and it has been going on for half a year. Even in the most intense and critical days of the war, the three empires did not interrupt this work. Things.

"Only from these translated parts, I can already roughly understand the meaning of the information," Gao Wen breathed out slowly, calming down some turbulent mood, "...The intention of'active communication' is very obvious, and it has never appeared before. Through this situation."

"Yes," Heidi nodded slightly, with a serious expression, "Star interpreters have translated all the information received by our monitoring stations throughout the years. Although there is still a lot of content that has not been deciphered, it is only from the present. For the translated part, it is not difficult to judge that the signals sent by'they' before are all the purest'data'. The basic mathematical symbols, basic coordinates, and basic character list are like simply announcing their own existence. , Or it’s like..."

Heidi frowned, as if she didn’t know how to accurately describe her thoughts at the moment, but Gawain had understood her meaning and took the initiative to speak: “It’s like standing on the only stage in the dark, facing the empty and silent audience. Xi introduced himself over and over again, and now"

He said, tapping the document on the table with his fingers.

"They seem to have discovered...there is an'audience' under the stage."

"This is what makes people a little nervous," Heidi said in a deep voice, "The goblin scholars in charge of the Ancestral Peak Listening Station have already had heated discussions on this matter, and our scholars are almost like this. The signal’s civilization seems to have suddenly realized that there may be a'audience' within their broadcast range. No one knows whether this is good or bad, and..."

"And it's not certain whether the'Unknown Civilization Alpha' mentioned above refers to us," Gawain looked at Hetty's eyes, "After all, all the signs show that the signal of'their' is just a non-directional whole area. Broadcasting, the starry sky is vast, and there are so many stars. Perhaps the intelligent creatures within this broadcast range are not the only one of us."

"Ancestor, do you think..."

"This matter is not only related to ourselves," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "We need a high-level meeting to send Typhon and Baiyin anxiously."
