Chapter 740 Unknown language of a civilization
The next day, early morning, the weather was very good.
Last night, Fang Zhenguo hurried back to the headquarters and reported that there was a hidden textual information in the gene sequence of meteorite microorganisms.
The headquarters was moving very quickly, and the research teams of Lu Xiuwen and other Biology Research Institute already knew about this that night.
Early the next morning, when Fang Yuan came to the Biological Research Institute, researchers such as Lu Xiuwen had already begun to re-study the microorganisms found in meteorites.
Several people from the team rushed over.
All of them know that there is textual information hidden in the genes of meteorite microorganisms, so they all want to know what this information means.
Only Niu Dazhi is an exception.
This guy looked like he was not awake and was arrested by someone from the headquarters.
"What are you doing? You can't sleep anymore. You wake up at eight o'clock. Is there any humanity?" Niu Dazhi shouted loudly.
Fang Zhenguo stuffed a document into his hands and said seriously: "Look at the above regulations clearly and sign the name. If you violate the above regulations, you will basically be finished."
Niu Dazhi's fat body shook, frowned and stared at the document: "Confidentiality regulations, level A, what is confidential?"
"Idiot, of course it was a big discovery yesterday." Eve glanced at him.
"What did you find yesterday?" Niu Dazhi raised his head and looked like he was thinking seriously.
"You'd better not tell what happened yesterday, or you'll be done." Fang Yuan said.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I knew yesterday that this was an amazing discovery, how could I tell it?" Niu Dazhi said seriously.
The team members all showed disbelief expressions.
Fang Zhenguo said seriously: "You guys have signed the documents, and this matter has been classified as A-level confidentiality. You can participate in related research, but all research results are of the same level of confidentiality."
"Then I won't participate, I choose to go back to sleep." Niu Dazhi turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by two awakened soldiers.
"Today you all stay in the research institute to ensure that the information is not leaked." Fang Zhenguo reminded.
"I knew I would have gone to bed in the car yesterday." Niu Dazhi couldn't leave, and then lay down on the chairs in the corridor, and took a good night's sleep.
However, when Fang Yuan and his team started to study the base sequence information with Lu Xiuwen's team, Niu Dazhi got up again and came over to watch the fun.
...
Yesterday, only Fang Yuan saw those base sequences.
The base sequence contains text information left by smart species, which is also what Fang Yuan said alone. All the information heard by others is obtained from Fang Yuan’s mouth.
Scientific research is rigorous, and the Biological Research Institute naturally needs to re-confirm whether these base sequences are really text information.
In fact, when Lu Xiuwen received the headquarters notice last night, he couldn't sleep all night.
It was time for the research institute before dawn. It took a whole morning to convert some of the gene sequences of meteorite microorganisms into encoding and print them out.
A thick stack of a4 characters are densely recorded in quadrilateral letter codes.
The scientific research team took the base encoding and started the discussion.
"This paragraph, this paragraph is indeed like text encoding." Lu Xiuwen said as he took a pen to mark out a paragraph of base encoding.
"Yes, I found three repetitions of this paragraph, which really looked like text encoding. However, I am not sure about the text structure of this civilization. I don't know if it is a word or a word." Another scientific researcher discussed.
Even on Earth, there are many types of words.
For example, in Chinese characters and English, one character is one character, and multiple characters form a word.
In English, words composed of letters, and a single letter basically has no meaning.
Since I have no understanding of meteorite civilization, it is impossible to determine what the structure of the meteorite civilization's text is, and naturally it is impossible to determine whether this section of base code represents a word, a word, or a more concentrated meaning.
"It's not too difficult to know this. Just find out the same base code first." Lu Xiuwen said.
"Isn't it just for human eyes to see this?" Fang Yuan saw that they were discussing lively, and felt that this kind of work efficiency was outrageous.
Lu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Of course it is impossible. The base encoding of the electronic file has been sent to the computer department for analysis, and the result will not be sent back later. Let's discuss it before this."
Fang Yuan nodded, and felt that scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences could not do such a thankless thing.
However, it is always okay to discuss it before the computer analysis results come out.
"I found five base codes yesterday, and the repetition was very regular, so I felt that it was the text information left by smart species. Let's see... It's this paragraph, and it will be repeated once in the next paragraph." Fang Yuan said, pointing to a base code.
Not long after several people discussed it, the preliminary analysis report on base encoding in the computer department was sent.
Niu Dazhi came up again and asked, "What did the meteorite civilization say? Are you asking for help?"
Eve started rolling her eyes again.
Lu Xiuwen carried forward his excellent qualities as a professor and patiently explained: "This is just a preliminary report, which summarizes the characteristics of base encoding. As for what these base encodings mean, it requires a supercomputer to slowly decipher it."
Because the writing and language of humans and meteorite civilizations are completely different.
Therefore, the text information left by the meteorite civilization is actually equivalent to encrypted information, and it requires a supercomputer to decipher.
However, these text information should not be advanced encryption, so deciphering will not be too difficult, but it will not be completed in one or two days.
The report was printed for several minutes, and the people present were holding the report and discussing it while reading it.
"As similar to what we speculated, these base codes are indeed regular. According to preliminary coding summary, these base codes should be recorded with 16 bits as a unit for information." Lu Xiuwen looked at the report and felt that there were several students here who didn't know much about gene knowledge, so the teacher's habits broke out and started giving lectures.
In the report, all the repeated base encodings are listed, and you can see that some base encodings are repeated very many times, even hundreds of times.
"This section of base encoding is repeated hundreds of times, and each repetition is 16 digits. This is basically certain, and this should represent a word or a word. It seems that the words of this civilization have similar characteristics to those of humans." Lu Xiuwen said.
"This is not surprising. After all, it is a terrestrial planet, and it is also a carbon-based life. It is normal for languages to have similar characteristics." Fang Yuan nodded and agreed.
