Cheng Lin was familiar yet unfamiliar with this place name.
Strange because he has never been there, familiar because of an interesting incident in his childhood.
When Cheng Lin was a child, he accidentally caught a white homing pigeon with brown spots. The pigeon had a plastic ring on its leg with the word "Jiamusi" written on it.
Cheng Lin, who was young at the time, once thought that the pigeon came from abroad.
Later I found out that it was flying from the easternmost prefecture-level administrative region of Xia Kingdom.
The name Jiamusi comes from the Manchu language, which means Yi Cheng. There is a saying that it means "the place where wizards (shamans) pray".
Unexpectedly, as an adult, he would need to fly to that city today.
Although Cheng Lin didn't understand what he meant, he still quickly sneaked into the airport.
With the advantage of stealth and agility, he successfully entered the boarding hall.
There is some kind of device to detect spiritual energy at the entrance of the airport.
Cheng Lin was still nervous when he passed by.
The result was not triggered.
Sneaked in without any danger.
I hurriedly found the corresponding flight, which was a Boeing 737 operated by Shandong Airlines.
After a lot of effort, I finally entered the cabin of the passenger plane.
When the plane rose and the blue sky and white clouds appeared outside the porthole from a unique perspective, Cheng Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It will take a long time to fly to the destination."
Cheng Lin calculated silently.
Prepare to take advantage of this time to read "Three Field Construction Methods for Learning Superpowers".
What a pity.
From the time he got this book, he still hasn't had a chance to open it.
However, just as he was about to start reading, information emerged in his mind again:
[You successfully boarded the passenger plane to Jiamusi. Through the porthole, you observed this land with a bird's eye view]
[Human buildings are like dilapidated matchboxes, piled up on the surface of the planet. The tall buildings that used to be magnificent now seem extremely small, just like humans facing nature]
[You start to observe the earth and appreciate the scenery of China, but when you overlook the earth, there may be unknown powerful beings overlooking you]
Cheng Lin stopped flipping through the book and looked out the window, finding that the window suddenly became blurry, as if it was experiencing some kind of acceleration of time.
【Jiamusi has arrived】
For a moment, the information came to mind, and the plane began to announce its imminent landing.
Cheng Lin smiled helplessly and stuffed the textbook back again.
…
When Cheng Lin finally walked out of Jiamusi Dongjiao Airport among the crowds of people, he also received the next message on time:
[Congratulations on completing the second phase of the task]
[Task (Part 3): Go straight east, you will see a taxi with Peppa Pig spray-painted on the surface, get on it, and it will take you to your destination]
"So the first three missions are all about rushing..."
Cheng Lin was speechless and followed the prompts and walked over.
Soon, he discovered the target vehicle.
After opening the back seat door and sitting down, Cheng Lin looked at the driving position and found that there was no driver there.
When I was confused, the rental car suddenly started on its own, and then started driving away from the airport.
"Unmanned driving..."
Cheng Lin was startled, but he didn't think much about it and accepted it calmly.
The taxi quickly left the airport.
We turned onto a main road and started to move forward at a steady speed.
If you look at it from the outside, there is neither a driver nor a passenger in this car. It is completely a ghost car.
Sitting in the car, I watched the buildings on both sides disappear quickly, replaced by fields and trees.
He reached out again to touch the textbook in his arms.
"Three Field Construction Methods for Learning Abilities"
I have read this title several times, but have never had the chance to actually open it.
Cheng Lin was about to flip through the pages when he suddenly noticed that the car window was suddenly blurry.
Then I felt the car start to slow down and stop after a few seconds.
"Time is speeding up again...can't you give me some time to read..."
Cheng Lin said speechlessly.
Sighing, he put away his textbooks, pushed the door open and got out of the car, looking around.
Then, not surprisingly, I found myself in the suburbs.
In front of you is a wide field.
There are silhouettes of mountains around it.
In July, the rolling mountains took on an indigo color and were misty, and the farm-like place in front of them was also full of green.
There are patches of coniferous forest in the distance on the left and right sides. In the area surrounded by a large sea of forest, there are many buildings scattered and regularly distributed.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge, white parabolic antenna located in the center of this area!
That antenna was bigger than anything Cheng Lin had ever seen.
It has a white body, a stable steel structure, and a huge parabolic structure that seems to cover half of the sky. It is like a giant's open hand, with its palm facing the endless sky.
"This is……"
Cheng Lin was stunned, standing in the cool summer wind, staring unblinkingly at the deep space antenna, or to use another word to describe it: a radio telescope.
[Congratulations on completing the third phase of the task]
[Mission (Part 4): Send your greetings to the universe]
[After several hours of twists and turns, you finally arrived at the location of the 66-meter deep space antenna in Jiamusi City. You stared at it affectionately, and then walked towards it. There was no one in its main control room. You decided
Go in and have a look]
…
Jiamusi 66-meter deep space antenna!
The main equipment of Xia Guo’s lunar exploration project!
It is also one of the very few super radio telescopes in the entire Xia that can not only receive signals, but also transmit signals to the universe!
It is also the largest fully movable antenna in Asia...
This information kept popping up in Cheng Lin's mind.
It does not come from that program, but from Cheng Lin's own memory.
Since returning from the "wilderness", he began to read social science books.
Among them, I happened to have read information about this astronomical telescope!
Speaking of telescopes, the first thing that comes to people's minds in Xia is probably the "500-meter spherical radio telescope" standing in your province, also known as fast. It also has a more down-to-earth name: "Xia
"Eye of the Kingdom of Heaven".
Compared with the "Eye in the Sky", the radio telescope located in Jiamusi is less famous.
"Why did you bring me here? The fourth mission...to send my greetings to the universe? What is the purpose of this deduction?"
Cheng Lin let out a long breath, feeling inexplicable.
After standing there for two minutes, he finally started walking towards the antenna.
No one was seen along the way, and the security here was not strict.
Cheng Lin arrived at the antenna easily and then walked into an ordinary-looking building.
The kind of arrow that appeared in the "Wild Plains" deduction appeared under his feet again.
Following the instructions of the arrow, he successfully infiltrated... well, the word infiltrate seems a little inappropriate. To be precise, he walked into the main control room with a big show.
As the message said, there was no one in the main control room, and there was no sight of a bunch of complicated and mysterious instruments like Cheng Lin imagined.
There are just some computers and the like.
It's really not science fiction.
"What's next?"
Cheng Lin stood in the room and couldn't help but ask softly.
[You are worried about how to continue, but you don’t know that I have already made all preparations for you]
[The program has been tampered with and everything is ready]
[Please go to the main computer in front of you and hit the confirmation key on the keyboard]
"……All right."
Cheng Lin was speechless, walked forward, and looked at the complex graphics on the monitor, and found that he couldn't understand it.
After a slight hesitation, he reached out and tapped the confirmation button.
Then, perhaps it was an illusion... he vaguely heard a buzzing sound.
Then, something seemed to pass over his body, then rise up from the ground and rush into the vast universe.
[Congratulations on completing the fourth phase of the task]
[You invaded the operating system and sent a piece of information in the form of radio waves through the telescope to the vast sea of stars]
At this moment, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered the meaning of the city's name: "A place where wizards (shamans) pray."
"It really feels like I'm praying to something... By the way, what is the content of the message I am sending into the universe?"
Cheng Lin thought of something and asked.
After a few seconds, the answer came to mind:
[The content of the message you sent is: "Hello, Cheng Lin!"]
