Cao Rui looked around, lowered his voice and replied:
"We have a direction. Maybe we should try our luck more. I always feel that those grandsons will not help us so simply. We don't always say that when God gives you a gift, it is often behind your back.
The price is marked. I don’t want to wait until they come to collect the debt with the price list, only to realize that the money in my pocket is not enough to pay for it. In that case, we may not be able to control the situation.”
Zhou Cheng also agreed:
"Yes, things in the sky are becoming clearer now. But we know almost nothing about Rain Man, and I am also very worried..."
Zhou Cheng stopped mid-sentence, and Cao Rui said solemnly:
"Worry about their intentions!"
Zhou Cheng nodded. Cao Rui continued:
"I can't help much with matters in the sky. But I can't just leave the Rain Man matter alone, so I want to give it a try."
Zhou Cheng looked at Cao Rui with concern:
"They have the ability to become 'Internet ghosts'. As soon as you step out of my house, they will know your every move. I'm worried that when your actions are known to them, you may be in trouble."
Cao Rui said with a confident look:
"Lao Zhou, you are looking down on me. You said that in my line of work, it is not easy to find a reasonable reason to disappear into the surveillance and digital ocean. Then I will use some technical means to make it a little easier.
, to ensure that they cannot recognize me from the big data, whether it is facial features or body features.”
Zhou Chengyi thought that he might have been worrying too much and asked:
"Then you should be careful along the way. What we know now shows that they are much ahead of our technological level. And there are many more situations that we know almost nothing about."
Cao Rui's mischievous smile appeared on his face again:
"You have to say that they are indeed far ahead of us in science and technology, but their strategies and methods are not necessarily directly proportional to the development of science and technology. Although we are still prey, we already know the existence of hunters, right?"
Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other and laughed silently. For a while, the garage was silent, except for the occasional chirping of birds outside. After a while, Cao Rui looked at his watch:
"It's almost time. It's time for me to leave. I won't be able to use my cell phone starting today. I'll give you an emergency communication number. If you have something very urgent, just call this number. They will find a way to relay the matter covertly.
For me."
Zhou Cheng also came to his senses. He took the note from Cao Rui, turned around and took out a cigarette from a short cabinet next to him and handed it to Cao Rui:
"I know, brother. It's been a hard journey, and I don't have anything to give you. Just take this."
Cao Rui took the cigarette, looked it up and down, and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
Zhou Cheng waved his hand and looked at the car parked at the door. There was a slender figure in the passenger seat. He asked:
"Does anyone go on the mission with you?"
An embarrassed expression flashed across Cao Rui's face, and he laughed:
"Ah...yes! We support each other and have cooperation."
Zhou Cheng looked at the figure with the short ponytail and said:
"Still a girl?"
The embarrassment on Cao Rui's face was already obvious. After all, he had not had a female companion for more than ten years after divorcing his ex-wife. He hesitated and said:
"Ah...yes...Zhang Jie, you have met her. Originally, I wanted Xiao Zhao or Xiao Zhou to go with me, but they all have other tasks and can't get away. This Xiaoni
Even if my wife insists on going, I also consider that this girl is careful, and some special tasks are better completed by women..."
Seeing that Cao Rui's cheeks were already slightly red, Zhou Cheng laughed:
"I don't have any other intentions. This task is so difficult and dangerous. I just want you to take good care of this girl."
Cao Rui seemed to be relieved, waved the cigarette in his hand, and his tone returned to normal:
"Ha! Come on, she can fight better than me. Okay, let's not talk anymore, I'm leaving first. I have to prepare for the mission when I get back. I will set off soon."
After watching Cao Rui leave, Zhou Cheng turned around and looked at the characters on several blackboards. In his eyes, these letters, numbers and operators, which were obscure to ordinary people, looked more like pieces scattered on the table.
Each piece of the puzzle is clear and complete, but it is also messy.
His brain was running rapidly, searching for that tiny golden needle over and over again in the ocean of numbers. He wanted to piece together a picture of the future from it. It might be a bright future like spring now.
, it may also be the doomsday scene of Chao Burning Yuan Liao.
In space that is so empty that only quantum fluctuations can stir up some patterns, an equilateral triangle laser array with a side length of 7 million kilometers is composed of three Taiji 2 satellites and is composed of four European "Harp" satellites.
The rectangular laser array, as well as the pentagonal "home base" laser array composed of five North American satellites, were calibrated a few weeks ago.
They are waiting for a space-time ripple caused by a picometer-level gravitational wave to pass through their array. A very small space-time oscillation will cause the satellite's laser beam to hit another satellite target 7 million kilometers away to slightly deflect. Through this deflection,
By using the interference image moved on the target, the intensity and source distance of the gravitational wave can be analyzed. Then based on the slight time difference between the signals received by several groups of gravitational wave satellites, the approximate direction of the source of the gravitational wave can be determined.
In the conference room on the second floor of the control room of the Aerospace Control Center, Zhou Cheng, Shen Manling, Director Yin, Song Shi and other experts are already waiting there. Although it is not sure whether the possible gravitational wave signal will appear today.
, but as the predicted time approaches, they will come here every day to wait for the signal of hope and fear.
Song Shi looked at the large screen of the control center below through the glass curtain wall with his hands behind his back. The fingers of one of his hands kept opening and clenching into a fist intentionally or unintentionally. Director Yin looked at the intercom on the table with blank eyes.
Thoughtful.
There are several piles of information on the table in front of Shen Manling. They are the observational data on space spores and debris fragments that Xia Lan has returned from space in the past few days. She is still immersed in those data, hoping to find hidden information in them.
clues to get up.
Zhou Cheng sat next to his wife. In front of him was a piece of paper with a few not-so-complex formulas written on it, and a pen lying on the paper. His fingers were crossed on the table. Zhou Cheng
Cheng had a serious face and his eyes were staring ahead, but not at any specific object. It was as if he had seen the gravitational wave signal that was rushing towards them, rolling up space and time.
"Gravitational wave signal discovered!" came an urgent voice from the intercom.
Everyone gathered around, but Zhou Cheng remained unmoved.
"What magnitude!" Director Yin asked with a trembling voice.
"Pimometer level! I'll bring all the data up right away!"
