When the hour hand pointed to one o'clock in the morning, Professor Huo Laien announced that the meeting was over.
After all... everyone is getting older. Even if there is a big thing, no matter how great the interest is, it still can't compete with the power of time.
Besides, there are still a large number of young Ph.D.s in the laboratory, and postdocs are waiting excitedly... There is no need for them to stay up late with the young guys.
After chatting with several colleagues and walking out of the laboratory, Mr. Huo returned home.
Sita's housekeeper very considerately brought him hot water for soaking his feet.
Sitting on the sofa, Professor Huo Laien put his feet into the wooden bucket, then leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, but after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Sita, who was waiting quietly aside.
"Sita, bring me my virtual glasses."
"OK."
Putting on the virtual glasses, Professor Huo Laien connected to the dimensional wave detector of the Provincial Communications Physics Laboratory.
Although he has set a task for everyone to decipher the content of the two pieces of information, he also knows... it is indeed too early to decipher it now - his statement is just purely for the sake of the earth and for the sake of the earth.
The perspective of a scientist who considers human safety.
Dimensional wave detectors, or "high-frequency gravitational wave" detectors, are no longer just high-precision scientific research instruments. They are found in almost every laboratory in the world that studies dimensional space and inter-dimensional communication.
Professor Huo Laien was looking at the dimensional wave detector in the laboratory at this time. He mainly wanted to see whether the dimensional wave detector could still detect gravitational waves from the experimental location in space to the earth at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
If the data is available, it can provide more powerful verification and model data for the gravitational wave model of artificial wormholes in three-dimensional space.
At first glance, there is a lot of data, but based on experience, Professor Huo Laien knows that there is a lot of clutter in it without even needing Aita to process it - even a lot of it is electromagnetic wave interference.
Just when he was about to let Aita process it in a formulaic manner, a stream of data suddenly flashed past, filling the entire data page in an instant.
Professor Huo Laien was stunned for a second, but then raised his eyebrows.
Because he realized that the waveform was wrong.
He looked up at Sita, and then pressed a button on Sita's waist: "Aita, authorize the retrieval of the SJ0013 detector's information database for the last ten hours, and perform hypercube analysis."
Yin Ta's unique voice immediately came from the West Tower's loudspeaker: "Roger that."
Professor Huo Laien closed his eyes and began to wait for the results.
Five seconds later, Aita's voice sounded again: "Hello, Professor, the results have been delivered."
"Thank you!" Professor Huo Laien opened his eyes and put on his glasses again.
In the virtual glasses, a standard hypercube and other waveform data streams are perfectly matched.
And time is just now!
He silently looked at the tesseract, and his eyes began to shrink slowly.
Is this? Someone has transmitted information directly to the earth through dimensional waves...?
So...what does this say?
…
Meanwhile, the Harvard Physics Center.
Dr. Michael held the coffee, took a sip, and then put his legs on the desk, looking comfortable.
In front of him is a small dimensional wave detector - an instrument used to test the singularity properties of high-dimensional communications.
As a PhD student in partial numerical calculations at the Center for Physics, it is normal for him to have "nothing to do" now.
After all...scientific research institutions all over the world have already connected to Aita. In the past, their scientists who were more interested in mining and calculating data were basically "unemployed" overnight.
There is no way, Aita's computing power is too strong, and strong artificial intelligence is not just talk - compared with real humans, or digital life, she only lacks the "emotion" of the final touch.
Hmm... This is actually very good. After all, an AI needs some kind of relationship. Professor Ye Ming can't create such a powerful AI just for falling in love...
Fortunately, he is familiar with Aita's various algorithms and logic, so he doesn't have to worry about being laid off at all - besides, he can still teach students!
No matter how strong Aita is, she cannot replace university teachers - in this world, the only person who can really teach college students is Professor Ye Ming's scientific assistant Yin Ta.
Michael put down his coffee, stretched, and casually looked at the lower right corner of the monitor. The time had reached 11:30.
"What should I eat for lunch?"
He was talking to himself, but he caught a glimpse of the director's figure appearing in the corridor. He immediately put down his feet, sat up straight, and started to click on the detector's data interface.
You have to pretend to be nice.
As the director's footsteps got closer and closer, a series of extremely complex waveforms instantly jumped out of the data monitoring interface.
Michael rubbed his eyes, looked at the monitor in disbelief, and then looked at the detector running next to him - his job was to analyze the data from this machine.
But... we are not conducting experiments now!
"Michael, five hours ago, Professor Ye Ming conducted an artificial wormhole experiment in far space. Gravitational waves should be able to be transmitted to the ground. Do you have any data here?" The director stood at the door and asked with a serious face.
"Yes...but...director..."
Michael's eyes widened as he watched another piece of repeated data flow on the monitor. He swallowed hard.
"Gravitational waves are the speed of light, right?"
"...Are you a fool?" The director glared at him fiercely.
Gravitational waves, of course, propagate at the speed of light.
"Then...what am I receiving now?"
Michael pointed at the monitor, then turned the monitor around to face the director.
…
…
Ten hours later, Ye Ming's helicopter arrived at the provincial traffic apron.
After he got off the plane, he walked quickly towards the Center for Theoretical Physics without stopping at all.
Professor Huo Laien stood at the gate with Ye Ming's graduate student Zhou Xuchen. After seeing him, the old man showed agility that was completely different from his age, almost running faster than Zhou Xuchen.
"In the past ten hours, dimensional wave detectors around the world have received the exact same message, and it has been repeated several times."
Mr. Huo walked with great strides while telling Ye Ming the events that happened in the past ten hours.
They can block the information received from high-dimensional space, because only two laboratories are involved, and they are familiar with each other, and both are well aware of the "danger" and importance of dimensional research.
But...the information received simultaneously by all dimensional wave detectors around the world...
There is no longer any way to block and conceal it.
Ten hours have passed, whether it is the scientific community, the entire society, the entire Internet, and all media, with different purposes, they have announced it to the whole world.
——Humanity has received information from alien civilization.
Ye Ming hummed slightly, but did not stop. He would look at the researcher who was looking at him, and after a few seconds of silence, he would smile and nod.
"It's nothing more than a piece of information with unclear meaning, no big deal."
