Chapter 301 – Humans Are Dumb (2)

After Chen Yu sat on Voyager 2’s “body,” his explanation came to an end.

Holding the metal frame with both hands, he flipped and searched around the probe until he finally found a golden record stuck between two objects resembling exhaust fans.

At this time, the Voyager 2 probe was already more than 120 astronomical units away from the sun. However, the faint sunlight that reached the probe still caused the golden record to s.h.i.+ne with an exceptionally bright light.

“Found it.”

Reaching out, Chen Yu lightly caressed the golden record. He then manipulated the camera to zoom in on the record, giving his audience a clear look at the record’s uneven texture.

“This is the Voyager probe’s iconic golden record. It looks exactly the same as the photos online. Ugh, it’s stuck in place.”

After tentatively tugging at the record a few times, Chen Yu found that it was stuck to the round frame. Giving up on doing things gently, he simply slammed his fist into the frame’s right side. He then tore out both the frame and the disk.

[Ahahaha. NASA is crying.]

[The frame is made out of metal, right? How strong is the UP?]

[Look at how happily the Voyager probe is smiling.]

[NASA: Does the law still exist?]

Raising the golden record, Chen Yu showed it to the camera and said, “This record is very st.u.r.dy. It is really made out of gold. The record’s total playing time is two hours. Music occupies one hour, and the remaining one hour consists of greetings made in 55 languages. There are also 115 recorded images. Meanwhile, the most important information is recorded in these 115 images.

“To prevent aliens from finding this record to be incomprehensible due to cultural differences, NASA has also thoughtfully engraved instructions on the record’s surface. The instructions are these patterns you see here.

“However, maybe because NASA’s leaders were afraid that the aliens they attracted wouldn’t be strong enough, they had encrypted the instructions, making it so that only civilizations with knowledge standards above the quantum level can crack the encryption.

“Firstly, it’s these two circles on the lower-right side.” Stretching a finger, Chen Yu pointed at a pair of strange circular symbols at the record’s lower-right corner. “This is the first step to cracking the encryption and reaching a language consensus. The circle on the left represents the antiparallel state, and the circle on the right represents the parallel state. The vertical line in the middle of the circle is protons, the outer line is electrons, and the horizontal line in the middle represents one unit of time.

“This pattern expresses the spin transition diagram of the hydrogen element. When the spin directions of the element electrons and protons are the same from the opposite transition paths, electromagnetic waves will radiate in the middle. Hydrogen is used because it has the widest, simplest, and most common distribution in the universe.

“Through this, we can also see that the thought pattern of humans is surprisingly similar to aliens when it comes to science! The orbiting law of Tabby’s Star’s triangle is also based on the hydrogen element.”

Pointing at the second image on the record, Chen Yu continued, “The second step to decoding these instructions is the rows of dashes, which show the total duration of the record in binary and the duration of the record playing one lap from the outside. So long as you combine one unit time of the hydrogen element from before, you can calculate the correct speed at which you need the play the record and complete the audio cracking.

“And while the difficulty of decoding the recorded images is much greater, so long as one manages to decode the front portion, decoding the latter portion is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, after an alien civilization fully decodes this record, they will have all of mankind’s secrets.

“For example, mathematical calculation methods, genetic information, detailed diagrams of the human anatomy, reproduction methods, real data of the solar system, Earth’s data, social forms, etc. Everything is in these 115 pictures. The last picture, in particular, gives away the sun’s position through the 14 neighboring pulsars. So long as you find three of these pulsars, you can pinpoint Earth’s position.

“With information on the human anatomy and genetic information, aliens wouldn’t even need to send a fleet to Earth. They can just develop a virus to wipe out our civilization.

“Now, though…”

The next moment, Chen Yu pinched and crushed the golden record. “That won’t be possible anymore.”

[That’s basically suicide.]

[Humans are actually such dumb creatures…]

[Actually, NASA never thought that an alien civilization would discover the golden records because the Voyager probes’ speed is too slow. They might have thought that after humans went extinct, these records can be used to prove that humans once existed.]

[Why not engrave a QR code on it?]

After tossing away the fragmented record, Chen Yu sent the Voyager 2 off course with a strong kick. His body also gradually parted from the s.p.a.ce probe.

“Now that I’ve taken care of Voyager 2, I plan to use a simpler method to deal with Voyager 1.

“Oh… Before that, I would like to express my apologies to NASA first. Sorry for destroying two of your probes. If necessary, I will compensate you for this loss. I can also make up for it in other ways.

“Before we realized it, humans have already entered the s.p.a.ce age, albeit barely. Many concepts and thoughts need to be changed. Now that we’ve proven the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, it is time for social thinking and conflicts to undergo an overhaul.

“Humans are not alone. Hence, we should curb our curiosity. We still do not know the social rules of the complex universe. For humanity’s survival, we must approach everything with a cautious att.i.tude.

“I believe that as I evaluate more and more products with greater technological content, Earth’s strength will grow increasingly stronger as well. The huge Milky Way galaxy is bound to have a place for us humans!”

[Awesome!!]

[I suddenly feel my blood boiling.]

[I hope to see mankind rule the entire universe in my lifetime.]

[You won’t see that day even if you become a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. ( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)]

[Hurry up and raise your access level, host! Once you have the dual-vector foil, the Milky Way will be in your hands!]

[Is our way of doing things considered cheating?]

After returning to the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu established a new spatial link and arrived some distance ahead of Voyager 1. He then reconnected the portal to Earth’s atmosphere.

Three minutes later, a probe resembling Voyager 2 appeared in the distance. Though, in the blink of an eye, the probe’s huge body collided with the metal arch and shattered. Some of the probe’s fragments then pa.s.sed through the portal’s spatial film and entered Earth’s atmosphere. The speed at which the fragments entered the atmosphere also caused them to burn into ashes rapidly.

During the whole process, the metal arch did not move in the slightest. It was as if an egg had just smashed into a wall…

“Everything’s settled.”

Patting the non-existent dust off his hands, Chen Yu glanced at the remaining debris floating in s.p.a.ce. He then stepped through the portal and returned to the location of the Point Hubble s.p.a.ce Telescope.

Flying ten meters upward, Chen Yu glanced down at the orb that was giving off a golden glow. He then nodded and said, “It seems the telescope is done capturing images of Tabby’s Star. Before I show you the images, I have to remind everyone that the Point Hubble s.p.a.ce Telescope is different from traditional observation equipment. It receives the light information of the designated star, fills in the gaps using computer simulation, and renders the limited data to create a virtual image.

“Hence, the images I will be showing in a moment are not 100% authentic, and there may exist large errors. In general, though, the accuracy of the images should be at 70% or above.”

After saying so, Chen Yu held up the telescope under the expectant gazes of his audience. He then slid a finger across the console, let the telescope do its job for a few seconds, and clicked the ‘Start’ option.

The next moment, the telescope projected an image 50 meters wide and 40 meters tall into the deep, dark s.p.a.ce ahead of it.

Meanwhile, the image’s content instantly caused a storm to brew among the livestream’s 50 million viewers.
