865 Extraterrestrial Civilization

Soon, all types of detectors were thrown out by Hawkeye and began to operate according to their respective tracks in a radius of 5,000 kilometers. After simple debugging, a steady stream of information began to be sent to Tan Zhenwen's computer.

The others were still busy with their own affairs, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements while trying to save themselves. Xiao Yan was by Tan Zhenwen's side and was looking forward to the ship-by-ship scientist who could give him some good news through his knowledge.

But soon he saw Tan Zhenwen frowning and an incredible look appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Xiao Yan asked.

"No, maybe I'm wrong! Wait!" Tan Zhenwen threw out a casual sentence, and his hands began to operate on his computer quickly.

After the operation was completed, the expression on Tan Zhenwen's face became very complicated, with a hint of incredible and a hint of fear, but more of it was excitement, and it was impossible to hide it.

"What is the situation? It doesn't seem like you have discovered our friend ship like this?" Xiao Yan looked at the scientist suspiciously and asked loudly.

"I'm not sure what's going on, but look here!" Tan Zhenwen pointed to his screen.

Xiao Yan looked over and found patterns made of various lines. He didn't understand what these meant, so he could only look puzzled.

"Oh, well, this is the signal received by our detector. This is a short-wave radio signal. This short-wave radio technology was once very widely used on the earth, especially the military often used. The short-wave signals we receive must be the signals sent on a planet near us and are eventually captured by our detectors. Of course, we cannot know when the signal was, but it is certain that in this star field, there must be a planet that has intelligent life, and they are very mature in radio technology. More data still needs to be waited for. You must know that even if the planet is very close to us, it is estimated that it will be several light years away, and more signals will take more time to pass here. Of course, there is another more important discovery to support my argument. Please pay attention to this message, which is the data sent back by the photosensitive device on one of our detectors. Based on the data feedback, I quite suspect that this is the captured frequency of the space infrared telescope band."

"Wait, what you mean is that there is really an extraterrestrial civilization in the star field we are in? It also owns radio technology and astronomical telescope technology similar to those on the earth? Or are you mistaken? The radio waves you receive are actually sent by our friend ship?" Xiao Yan said with a strange expression.

If he had discovered extraterrestrial civilizations on Expedition One, he might have been as excited as Tan Zhenwen at this time, but the situation is different now. They are in trouble and have no defense ability at all. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely not a good thing to discover an extraterrestrial civilization!

There are black hole cannons on Expedition One, which can bypass or encounter unfriendly foreign civilizations and deter them. After all, throwing a shot at the stars is a very likely to be played together, but the highest-end weapon on his reconnaissance ship is an energy main gun. Facing the giant ship on Expedition One, it cannot even break the protective cover. As for the melee tactical missiles within 8,000 kilometers, the role of the small battle tactical missiles in space war is even smaller, without the large force to help share the firepower. Xiao Yan, who has experienced countless wars in the game, does not think that those missiles can have any effect under the conditions of inconvenience of movement.

The most important thing is that they don’t know how far the civilization and technology of this planet has developed. This is the most heart-wrenching thing.

"Friendship?" Tan Zhenwen looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously, "When did you see the correspondent use shortwave communication technology for communication between ships? Now we use quantum and laser communication technology. Not to mention that even if other warships carry radio communication equipment, they pass through various energy interference through wormholes, do you think it can still be useful now? This is also one of the reasons why the radar system on our ships is completely invalid! Many applications on our home planet Earth are still using radio technology, but now they are just auxiliary to quantum communication!"

"In other words, there is really an extraterrestrial civilization in this star field!?" Xiao Yan said with a headache.

"Eighty percent possibility! Unfortunately, most of the equipment on the ship cannot be used, otherwise I can find a way to find possible pulsars nearby, perform triangular positioning, and determine the location of the target star! Of course, it would be better if Expedition One could come now! If it was on Expedition One, it would only take ten minutes to determine the coordinates of the planet, and then determine whether this star field really has an extraterrestrial civilization comparable to the earth's civilization through directional observation!" Tan Zhenwen said excitedly.

Pulsar positioning is the mainstream positioning and navigation technology on Expedition One now. It is also an indispensable tool for star map manufacturing.

Navigating in the vast universe, it is very difficult to determine your goals, especially in a strange star field, with no latitude and longitude, no coordinates, and if there is no accurate positioning and navigation method, it may even be moving towards the target location to the end but running farther and farther. Therefore, the pulsar positioning technology on Expedition One came into being.

A pulsar is a fast-rotating neutron star. The radio radiation and x-ray radiation emitted by it are very accurate in both signal cycles, and it can even be comparable to an atomic clock. In this way, by scanning the signals of three neutron stars and recording them, it can accurately locate and navigate a strange star domain through itself as a reference.

The biggest advantage is that when sailing in an unfamiliar star field, you can continuously expand the positioning range by changing the reference star at any time. For Expedition One at this stage, this technology is very practical. As an astrophysicist, Tan Zhenwen is naturally familiar with this technology. The only disadvantage is that the data required to be calculated is relatively large, and the calculation time of the small quantum computer on board the Hawkeye needs to be calculated for a long time. However, if Expedition One does not exist here, this problem will be there. After all, Expedition One has a high-end version of the quantum superbrain.

As soon as Tan Zhengwen finished speaking, Eagle Eye suddenly vibrated. When the vibration stopped and everyone was looking at each other, the quantum communication instrument connected to Expedition One on the ship suddenly flashed a green light, and then the radio on Eagle Eye rang again.

"This is Expedition One, repeat, this is Expedition One. We have traveled through the wormhole to rescue. All bat formation reconnaissance ships that have received the message please stay still and turn on the emergency distress signal!"

"Expedition One is here! Ha! We are saved!"

"Tao Xiao, you said that today's black limit is not drunk and you won't return!"

"Hurry up, use my identity code sc880638 to send an emergency communication request with Expedition One immediately! I want to report our discovery to the captain immediately! We need the most advanced communication request! We must be careful of possible extraterrestrial civilizations!"

...

Expedition One.

Prince Wang, who had just passed through the wormhole, was standing in the command center, staring at the various cursors on the screen.

When you arrive in a strange star field, you can't be too careful.

So as soon as they crossed the wormhole, two combat formations immediately gathered urgently and began to set up defenses near Expedition One.

Unlike Xiao Yan's Hawkeye's passive sucking into this strange star domain, the equipment on Expedition One was not disturbed much through this relatively stable wormhole. Moreover, this time travel was also a valuable experience. Compared with the temporary wormhole made by the black hole cannon, the various data obtained are different.

Sensory point of view, the various colors inside the channel are more gorgeous and more regular. Of course, these are just superficial images that the human eye can recognize on the virtual screen. If we want to upgrade the existing spatial transition technology from it, further efforts of scientists at the scientific research level are still needed.

The prince of the king is not concerned about these situations now, he is more concerned about the situation of the missing reconnaissance ships.

After the message was sent through the special quantum signal frequency of Expedition One and all warships, a total of nine emergency help contact signals from the reconnaissance ships appeared on the display interface of the command hall. Two other ships were still missing.

The rescue fleet has been dispatched and all rescue work is expected to be completed in two hours.

At this moment, a most advanced emergency access request appeared in the command hall. According to the system, this communication request was issued by the previously lost Eagle-class reconnaissance ship Hawkeye, and the identity code was a well-known astrophysicist on the ship.

The Captain Xiao Yan of the Eagle Eye still has an impression of Prince Wang. His ability to remember Chen Jingjing's relationship made him remember this young man from China.

Of course, even if you don’t have the impression that the signals from these reconnaissance ships will be received at this time.

Obviously, some devices on Hawkeye had problems. After connecting to the video communication, no video signal appeared, but the audio signal was transmitted.

"Captain, I am Tan Zhenwen. I boarded Hawkeye to explore the various parameters of Europa in depth."

"Hello Professor Tan, is there any emergency?"

"It's like this. The detectors we sent in this star field before received many scattered radio shortwave signals. According to my experience, these are not the messy signals in the universe, but the information carriers that are indeed sent by electronic devices. So I suggest that Expedition One immediately locate the galaxy and search for the target star, captain. This star field is likely to have an alien civilization that we have never been exposed to but overlaps with our development process! We may break through the communication with extraterrestrial civilizations here!"

Tan Zhenwen was very excited, of course, this is understandable. Even when Prince Wang got the news, his eyebrows were shaking unnaturally.

Extraterrestrial civilization!

If Tan Zhenwen's discovery is correct, human history has finally proved that humans are not the only intelligent life in the universe.

"Okay! I will send our call records to the R&D layer immediately. Now we are searching for nearby identifiable accurate signals and starting to draw star maps. We will give priority to this determination work. Thank you for your hard work, Professor Tan, I believe that when you return to Expedition One, we will be able to confirm your discovery!"

After closing the communication, Prince Wang immediately connected the communication of the R&D layer. The R&D layer was also very busy at this time. He had just arrived in a strange star domain. The scientists at the R&D layer had to do too much. They studied the energy response of the wormhole exit, detected the signals of the surrounding planets, found pulsars that can be used as a lighthouse, performed triangular positioning, detected the positions of stars in the galaxy, calculated the orbit of Expedition One, and so on, to help Prince Wang provide feasible references for the next move...

"What? Are you saying that Tan discovered evidence of the existence of alien intelligent life?" Aidington Ross on the other end of the video was absolutely no less surprised than the prince.

"It's not certain yet, so further confirmation is needed. The Qianlong Reconnaissance Formation has received orders and ready to go. You will receive more detailed information soon. If Professor Tan makes no mistakes, I believe you will soon reach the same conclusion!"

"The good triangle positioning will be completed immediately. Next, we will conduct roughly star signs in the entire star field. If we are sure that there is indeed an extraterrestrial civilization signal, we will soon find their approximate location!"

"It's not just about determining the location. If this extraterrestrial civilization is determined to be the real existence of it, the information I need most is whether they have discovered our entry! I believe you know that this is very important for my next decision!"

"Don't worry! We will do our best! This is the first thing we can do. Hawkeye has sent data. We will contact you when we have a conclusion here!" After that, the two sides closed the communication.

It is obvious that the entire R&D layer of Expedition One was even busier at this time.

Discovering extraterrestrial life is a big deal! Especially intelligent life.

This is not just a discovery, but involves a series of problems, such as whether to contact extraterrestrial civilizations, how to contact them, whether there will be dangers, whether extraterrestrial civilizations are aggressive, their level of civilization, whether their civilization is advanced or behind the earth, there are too many things to understand. Of course, the first problem to be solved is still whether this extraterrestrial civilization exists.

This is not just a matter of concern to scientists, but a matter of concern to everyone. Everyone who boards the ship may be curious about this issue. Many crew members even boarded Expedition One with the mentality of having contact with other alien civilizations. It is conceivable how much sensation it will bring to Expedition One when this information is finally confirmed.
