v4 Chapter 740： An unknown language of civilization

The next day, early in the morning, the weather was fine.

Last night, Fang Zhenguo hurriedly returned to the headquarters and reported the hidden text information in the genetic sequence of meteorite microorganisms.

The headquarters moved quickly, and the scientific research team of the Institute of Biology, including Lu Xiuwen, knew about it that night.

Early the next morning, when Fang Yuan came to the Institute of Biology, Lu Xiuwen and other researchers had already begun to re-study the microorganisms found in the meteorite.

Several people in the team also rushed over.

All of them know that there are text messages hidden in the genes of meteorite microorganisms, so they all want to know what the messages mean.

Only Niu Dazhi is an exception.

This guy still looked awake, and was arrested by the headquarters.

"What are you doing? I even let people not sleep and wake them up at eight o'clock. Is there any humanity left?" Niu Dazhi shouted loudly.

Fang Zhenguo stuffed a document into his hand and said solemnly: "Read the above regulations clearly, and then sign your name. If you violate the above regulations, you are basically finished."

Niu Dazhi trembled with fat all over his body, frowning and staring at the document: "Secrecy regulations, Class A, what's the secret?"

"Idiot, of course it was yesterday's big discovery." Eve squinted at him.

"What did you find yesterday?" Niu Dazhi raised his head, making a look of serious thinking.

"You had better not tell the story of yesterday, otherwise you will be finished." Fang Yuan said.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I knew yesterday that this is an incredible discovery, how could it be said?" Niu Dazhi said seriously.

Several people in the team cast expressions of disbelief.

Fang Zhenguo said solemnly: "You have also signed the documents. This matter has been classified as Class A confidential content. You can participate in related research, but all research results have the same security level."

"Then I won't participate, I choose to go back to sleep." Niu Dazhi turned around and wanted to leave, then was stopped by two Awakened fighters.

"Today you all stay in the research institute to make sure that the information is not leaked." Fang Zhenguo reminded.

"I knew I was sleeping in the car yesterday." Niu Dazhi couldn't leave, and then lay down on the bench in the corridor, still sleeping properly.

However, when Fang Yuan and his team started to study the base sequence information with the Lu Xiuwen team, Niu Dazhi climbed up again and came to watch the fun.

...

Yesterday, only Fang Yuan saw those base sequences.

There are text messages left by intelligent species in the base sequence, which was also spoken by Fang Yuan alone. All the information other people heard came from Fang Yuan.

Scientific research is rigorous, and the Institute of Biology naturally has to reconfirm whether these base sequences are really text messages.

In fact, when Lu Xiuwen received the notification from the headquarters last night, he couldn't sleep all night.

I arrived at the research institute before dawn, and it took all morning to convert some of the meteorite microbe gene sequences into codes and print them out.

On a thick pile of A4 characters, quaternary letter codes are densely recorded.

The scientific research team took the base code and started the discussion.

"This paragraph, this paragraph really looks like a text code." While talking, Lu Xiuwen took a pen to draw out a base code.

"Yes, I found three repetitions in this paragraph. It does seem to be a text code. 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 researcher discussed.

Even on the earth, there are many types of words.

For example, in Chinese characters and English, one Chinese character is one character, and multiple characters form one word.

English is composed of letters, and a single letter basically has no meaning.

Because of the complete lack of understanding of the meteorite civilization, it is impossible to determine what the structure of the text of the meteorite civilization is, and it is naturally impossible to determine whether this base code represents a word, a word, or a more condensed meaning.

"It's not too difficult to know this. Just find out the same base code first." Lu Xiuwen said.

"You won't just look at it with human eyes?" Fang Yuan saw their discussions lively and felt that this kind of work was horribly inefficient.

Lu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Of course this is impossible. The base code of the electronic file has been sent to the computer department for analysis, and the result will be sent back later. Before that, let's discuss it first."

Fang Yuan nodded, and felt that it was impossible for scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences to do such thankless things.

However, it is always okay to discuss before the computer analysis results come out.

"I found five paragraphs of the same base code yesterday, and the repetition is very regular. That's why I think it is a text message left by a sapient species. Let me see... it is this paragraph. I will repeat it every other paragraph. Fang Yuan pointed to a piece of base code and said.

It didn't take long for a few people to discuss it, and the preliminary analysis report of base coding from the computer department was sent over.

Niu Dazhi leaned forward again and asked, "What did the meteorite civilization say? Are you asking for help?"

Eve started rolling his eyes again.

Lu Xiuwen carried forward his excellent qualities as a professor, and patiently explained: "This is only a preliminary report, summarizing the characteristics of base codes. As for the meaning of these base codes, this requires supercomputers to slowly decipher. That's fine."

Because the writing and language of human beings and meteorite civilization are completely different.

Therefore, the text messages left by the meteorite civilization are actually equivalent to encrypted messages, which need to be decoded by supercomputers.

However, these text messages should not have undergone advanced encryption, so deciphering will not be too difficult, but it cannot be completed in a day or two.

The report was printed for several points, and all the people present took the report and discussed it while watching it.

"Similar to what we have speculated, these base codes are indeed regular. From the preliminary coding summary, these base codes should be recorded as a unit of 16 bits." Lu Xiuwen looked at the report and felt that Here are a few students who don't know much about genes, so the teacher's habit broke out and began to lecture.

In the report, the repeated base codes are listed. You can see that certain base codes are repeated a lot, even hundreds of times.

"This base code is repeated hundreds of times, and each repetition is 16 bits. This is basically certain. This should represent a character or a word. It seems that this civilized text is similar to humans. Characteristics." Lu Xiuwen said.

"This is not surprising. After all, it is an earth-like planet, and it is also a carbon-based life. It is normal that the language has similar characteristics." Fang Yuan nodded.
