Chapter 396 The second signal
Two years later, the Expeditionary Force captured another radio wave. The frequency and band of this electromagnetic wave signal are exactly the same as the previous radio wave!!
If the scientific team of the Expeditionary Force is not fully convinced that the signal is an unknown cosmic civilization before receiving the second radio signal, then after capturing the second radio signal, the existence of the unknown cosmic civilization can be completely confirmed.
In the Central Command Center of the Expeditionary Fleet.
“#¥##¥##¥¥!#¥###¥##¥¥¥”
"This radio signal has more obvious traces of information transmission of intelligent civilization. The duration lasts 45.1 seconds. There are two obvious repetitive bands and three reused fields. There is a logical connection between these three repetitive fields and the message, which may be similar to prepositions in our language."
Tang Jikede, the scientific commander who was exposed to electromagnetic wave signals, analyzed to Hashi-chen.
"Don Gilleshode, Sergei, this time we can completely eliminate the possibility that the signal comes from some special pulsar or other celestial bodies!" Harashi Chen looked at the two senior commanders beside him and said expressionlessly.
"Yes, leader, that's an unknown cosmic civilization!"
"And, the other party is at least an advanced stellar civilization."
Sergey and Don Gilleshod replied.
"What does it mean to capture two electromagnetic wave signals at such a long distance in a row!" Yuan Shichen asked and answered, "Behind the two accidental events, there are certainly a number of signals that are spreading to the fleet, otherwise how can we capture two radio waves in a row in the vast universe!!"
"What do you mean, the unknown cosmic civilization ahead is very likely to be a huge group, and even the galaxy that was born from their civilization is right ahead!" Tang Jikede asked softly.
"That's not easy to deal with!!" Before Yuan Shichen could speak, Sergei's loud voice sounded first, "If the other party is a whole galaxy, then the strength of the expeditionary fleet is definitely incomparable!!"
"Sergey, this is not the worst." Harashi Naichen stared at Sergey and said seriously, "It may be more than just a star system, the opponent's power must have covered many star systems ahead."
"Yes! As a high-level stellar civilization, they must have controlled and developed the surrounding stellar systems. Just like us, they will soon incorporate the stellar systems around the stellar galaxy into their own territory." Sergei said thoughtfully, "It seems that we have to go around these stellar systems, we have to make a big circle."
"Tesla!!" Yuan Shichen looked at the panoramic simulated star map in the command center and suddenly asked Tesla, the commander of the engineering department who had been standing silently behind him.
"Ah, leader, I'm here." Tesla seemed to be distracted and suddenly felt awakened.
"You have calculated the distance and direction of the source of the signal and the fleet this time." Yuan Shichen asked with a chuckling.
"Well, that's true." Tesla walked up and pointed to the star map and introduced it to everyone. "Based on the strength and attenuation of this signal, we roughly judged that the distance between the signal and the expeditionary fleet is 60~100 light-years. In addition, combined with the propagation range of the two signals, we obtained an intersection area. If nothing unexpected happens, this unknown cosmic civilization should exist within a range of +-10.2° in front of the fleet's route."
"It turns out! We really want to dive into each other's nest!" Yuan Shichen raised his eyebrows and then analyzed with a serious look. "Two years ago, Tesla speculated that the signal source was about 80 to 120 light years away from the fleet. According to the fleet's speed, the fleet advanced about 17 light years two years later. Now our distance from the signal source is about 60 to 100 light years, which means that the signal source has not moved in the past two years."
"These two radio signals come from some one or several star systems in front of them!!" This result made Tang Jikede's eyes widen.
"Then, in 6 to 10 years, we will cross the territory to which an unknown high-level stellar civilization belongs!?"
Although there had been such speculations for a long time, after the final conclusion, everyone was still surprised.
"As the fleet continues to deepen, the scientific team must make every effort to observe and analyze all the star systems within 150 light years ahead of the fleet. I need a detailed evaluation report." Yuan Shichen ordered the scientific commander Don Gilleshode that of course this work takes time, and it is difficult to observe the inside of the star system at such a distance.
"Yes, leader!!" Official Tang Jikede replied with a cautious look.
"Where is the Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet currently?" Yuan Shichen asked military commander Sergei again.
"Here!" Sergei waved his right hand forward, and a row of light spots instantly appeared on the simulated star map. "At about 4 light years in front of the fleet, he is still flying forward at high speed."
"Always be careful not to send any super-light signal to the reconnaissance ship to prevent the forward-borne signal from being intercepted by the other party and causing unnecessary trouble." Yuan Shichen explained to Sergei.
"Please rest assured, as agreed at the time of departure, the Phantom Reconnaissance Ship has been conducting continuous one-way communication with the fleet. If there is any disturbance, the reconnaissance ship will report to us as soon as possible." Sergei replied.
"Okay! Five or six years later, all this will be decided. I hope the reconnaissance fleet will be smooth!!" Yuan Shichen nodded and said
At present, the entire expeditionary fleet is still about 80 light years away from the unknown universe civilization ahead.
Such a distance scale still gives the expeditionary force a lot of room for action decision-making.
In this vast universe, at such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible to find the specific location of the unknown civilization and discover the planets in the galaxy ahead. Similarly, as long as the expeditionary fleet does not make major moves and only maintains a normal flight state, it is a fantasy for the other party to discover the expeditionary force.
After discussion, all the senior executives of the expeditionary force unanimously decided that the main body of the fleet would continue to maintain a direct course and make further decisions based on the information on the future spying of the Phantom Reconnaissance Ship.
