October 12th.
A seemingly ordinary day.
But for space agencies around the world, around 2 p.m. that afternoon, it was like the end of a nightmare that had lasted for many days. The intermittent mysterious signal finally disappeared completely after this point.
The mysterious radio wave incident that has troubled scientists for many days and made them anxious and panic has finally come to an end.
…
Stars and Stripes National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Inside the conference room.
An expert with red eyes and a tired expression, as if he hadn't slept well for many days, reported:
"Director Robert, based on the deciphering work of our information experts over the past few days, the electromagnetic signal containing 120 bytes of information should roughly convey the meaning of 'help' or 'suppression'. Of course, this is just a rough guess, and the true meaning may not be certain."
"I think it can only be a 'call for help'. Otherwise, why would the mysterious signal last for 90 days and be repeated countless times? Just like ships on the high seas, once they encounter danger, they will continuously send out SOS signals. The two have similar behavioral logic." said another expert.
"Also, Director Robert, we've basically confirmed the source of the mysterious signal. It's not coming from deep space, but from low-Earth orbit around Blue Mercury. Only orbiting near Blue Mercury can the transmitted signal be received by every scientific satellite."
"In other words, the source of the mysterious signal is a satellite in low Earth orbit."
Listen to these information reports.
Director Robert Parsons, with his fingers crossed and his elbows resting on the table, fell into deep thought, with countless questions in his mind.
The mysterious signal comes from a satellite in low-Earth orbit. So, which country manufactured and launched the satellite?
The signal frequency is 160GHZ. The United States has never produced equipment to generate this frequency signal, let alone send it into space.
Big Mao country?
Or Xia Kingdom?
Or friends in Ouzhou?
But when people called to ask, they just shook their heads and denied launching a high-frequency communication satellite.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can we use a large-aperture ground-based radar to search for and lock onto that mysterious satellite? Given its ability to transmit high-frequency shortwave waves, the satellite's size and mass, at least ten tons, will definitely be locked onto by radar!"
"Sorry, Director. We've used the ground-based radar array on Cromonda to scan for all satellites larger than a baseball, but we haven't found that massive satellite. That mysterious space device exists like a ghost."
Another expert said.
But in fact, their ground-based radar array should have scanned the mysterious device that can emit high-frequency shortwaves. Its size happened to be slightly larger than a baseball, but they never thought that the mysterious device would be so small.
Secondly, there are countless objects the size of baseballs in space, most of which are "space junk." Even if they judge the direction correctly, it is difficult to find the real target among the large amount of space junk.
And now that the mysterious signal has disappeared, it is even more impossible to lock the location of the mysterious device.
So NASA held meeting after meeting, but ultimately achieved nothing except greater confusion.
…
The situation is similar for the Ouzhou Space Agency, the space agencies of Great Mozambique, the island nations, and India.
After some discussion, they reached a consensus: the source of the mysterious signal was in the low-Earth orbit of Blue Mercury, but they could not locate the specific source.
We can only make various guesses.
"That must be a new type of space-tested weapon launched by a major power, using the greater destructive power of high-frequency shortwave waves to damage other countries' space satellites."
"Space should be the last pure land of human civilization. We call on all countries to use space for peaceful purposes and prohibit its military use."
"In fact, it's possible that a major power is experimenting with a new space communications technology. 160GHz high-frequency shortwave carries thousands of times more information than ordinary megahertz waves, capable of instantly transmitting terabytes of data. The emergence of this communications technology will also affect the balance of space power among nations."
"By the way, could it be that this is a distress signal sent into space by aliens, hoping to summon their fellow aliens to come to the rescue?"
A scientist also made a wild guess.
However, his guess was not recognized by most people. After all, the mysterious signal incident occurred near Blue Mercury. If there were aliens, they would have been exposed and captured long ago, put on the dissection table, and subjected to thorough research.
After all, influenced by film and television culture, even in the minds of these scientists, they believe that aliens should look similar to octopuses, with huge heads and eyes, three claws, or be insect-like and extremely ugly. In any case, they are very different from humans.
Therefore, the mysterious signal generating device should be the masterpiece of a certain big country!
…
The other side.
Xiaguo Space Agency.
But it fell into an even more strange calm.
In particular, senior leaders and dozens of important experts who knew the real situation were ordered to keep silent and were strictly prohibited from discussing it privately.
October 12th, 6 p.m.
The "mysterious signal" that has been discussed by space agencies around the world disappeared four hours later.
In the emergency meeting room.
Director Yang Wei, Deputy Director Tian Kehua, heads of several important departments, and many senior experts filled the big round table.
Even though the meeting had already begun, they just looked at each other in silence for a long time.
In the end, the one who broke the silence was Wu Wanzhou, the veteran expert who was previously responsible for satellite review.
