that's the truth.
If you can get an accurate code and decipher the meaning of the text, it is only a matter of time.
However, these microorganisms do not know how long they exist in the universe.
It may be a few million years, or it may be hundreds of millions of years.
In such a long period of time, microorganisms will inevitably mutate in the process of reproduction.
Once the base of the recorded text changes, the text information will be changed.
Lu Xiuwen smiled heartily: "Professor Lang, you don't need to worry about this. The meteorite civilization has also considered this issue, so the text messages they left are actually repeated three times.
"The base codes we handed in have been confirmed many times, and the fragments with mutations and errors have been marked out.
"In general, the information is kept relatively complete, with a completeness of over 98.2%, so complete information can be obtained after deciphering."
"That's good. I am also worried that if it was left hundreds of millions of years ago, the complete information may not be available." Lang Tongguang nodded, relieved.
For the literature, 98% of preservation is very good. After all, it may be written information left over hundreds of millions of years ago.
Niu Dazhi scratched his scalp and said: "These microorganisms were left over hundreds of millions of years ago. How can it be possible?"
"What's weird, there are similar microorganisms on the earth. Have you ever heard of water bears? They say that water bears can survive on Mars and will not die if they are dried. There are powerful microorganisms on earth , Is it strange that the meteorite civilization is looking for a viable microorganism to record information?" Eve always does not forget his ambitions.
Lu Xiuwen explained with a smile: "Eve is right. The microorganisms found in meteorites are indeed very viable. It can be said that they do not carry water bears.
"With the powerful vitality of this microorganism, it is possible that it existed hundreds of millions of years ago until now."
"I really want to know what message the meteorite civilization left." Eve clenched his fist and looked forward to it.
The deciphering work of the Academy of Military Sciences has begun, and Lu Xiuwen contacts the supercomputer department every day to inquire about the progress of deciphering.
...
a week later.
The deciphering of the base code has given preliminary results.
The information left about the meteorite civilization is really curious, so as soon as the results came out, those in the military scientific research class who had the authority to know about it all ran to the Institute of Biology to listen to the results.
Even Niu Dazhi, who was originally not interested, has developed a strong curiosity, preferring not to sleep in, but also to run over.
"Professor, what's the result? Has it been deciphered?" Eve was impatient, and kept asking when he saw Lu Xiuwen.
"The deciphering work has produced preliminary results. Although it is not the final result, part of the text can be seen." Lu Xiuwen gave a positive answer.
"Quickly tell me what the meteorite civilization said? How did they perish? Was it also Pallas that came to the destruction of civilization? Did the planet impact break into so many pieces?" Eve asked a series of questions. Did not give Lu Xiuwen a chance to breathe.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the analysis report has been printed, and I will send it to you later." Lu Xiuwen took Fang Yuan to the office and handed the printed analysis report to them.
Several people got the deciphering report and opened it immediately.
Lu Xiuwen had read this report yesterday, and already knew the above: "The deciphering result is similar to what we discussed last week.
"This information is indeed left by the meteorite civilization, as we expected.
"In this text message, the content of the meteorite civilization is recorded first, and what kind of civilization they are.
"Because I don't know what the language of the meteorite civilization is, I can only infer the text from the code, so transliteration does not exist.
"There is a word representing their civilization, which has been repeated many times in the literature, but I don't know the specific meaning for the time being.
"Maybe the word that represents their civilized name is an independent word.
"Therefore, we still call this civilization meteorite civilization for the time being, but they don't call it this name themselves."
The number of characters recorded in the genes of meteorite microorganisms is about 20,000, which is actually not much.
It can also be seen from this point that the genetic technology level of the meteorite civilization has not reached the level of anti-sky.
And to ensure the accuracy of the recorded information, these text messages were repeated three times.
Therefore, it is quite good to be able to record 20,000 words.
The 20,000-character length is actually not long. It is impossible to record the culture and technology of the meteorite civilization, only some of the most important things can be recorded.
Among them, there is definitely a text describing the meteorite civilization itself.
Lu Xiuwen went on to say: "Judging from the deciphered text, it is in line with our speculated conclusion.
"Meteorite civilization is indeed a carbon-based civilization and the original civilization of the solar system.
"The most important point is that from the distance data mentioned in the literature, the orbital position of the parent star they mentioned happens to be in the asteroid belt.
"Therefore, from this point of view, it can be determined that there was indeed a planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt.
"Moreover, this planet is an earth-like planet, on which life has been nurtured and civilization has developed.
"From the perspective of the technological level of civilization, the civilization level has exceeded 1.0, and the civilization level is higher than ours.
"However, they did not escape the destiny of civilization destruction in the end.
"From this point of view, although their civilization level exceeds 1.0, it should not be too much."
This speculation is reasonable.
First of all, meteorite civilization has mastered the scientific and technological strength of recording information in microbial genes, which shows that the genetic technology of meteorite civilization is higher than that of human beings.
From the perspective of this technology alone, the technological level of meteorite civilization should be above 1.0.
However, the meteorite civilization finally destroyed together with their parent star, which also shows that their technological level has not reached the level of leaving the solar system, at least not easily leaving the solar system.
In fact, human civilization is now at this awkward level of civilization.
Although China has mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology, theoretically it has mastered the ability to leave the solar system.
However, creating a spacecraft to fly out of the solar system and surviving outside the solar system are completely different things.
In fact, even if the power of the whole country is now used to build spacecraft, it will not send many people out.
To survive on the spacecraft, there are still many technical problems that need to be solved.
The meteorite civilization finally did not escape the fate of being destroyed with the parent star, which also shows that their technological level has not reached the level of survival out of the solar system.
