"This is the main point I want to discuss." Chu Yan’s expression turned slightly grim. "According to the logs Grace reviewed, this Dark Matter ssage was captured at 0 minutes and 1 second on Apocalypse Day. However, Grace discovered during decoding that the ssage, decoded through gravitational waves, was recorded in the previous second."
"Previous second? What do you an, Apocalypse Day at 0 minutes and 0 seconds?" Wu Junping lifted his glasses with a face full of confusion.
"Do you an..."
At this mont, Chief Yang furrowed his brows, raised his hand to point at the clock above the command center hall, and asked Chu Yan.
"The current, previous second?"
Chu Yan nodded.
Silence.
At this mont, dozens of engineers fell silent as the sound of gasping filled the room.
Chief Yang was astonished: "So, the ssage cannot be extracted?"
"It seems so for now."
"What’s going on? chanical failure?" an engineer exclaid.
"Unlikely." Wu Junping imdiately shook his head. "Grace, a high-level Intelligent Brain, cos equipped with a light clock system for ti calibration, with a margin of error not exceeding one second in 300 years. This issue is likely not just about storage ti..."
"Could the Southern Heavenly Gate platform also be experiencing a ti dilation effect like the Star Abyss?"
"It’s possible, but ti dilation shouldn’t create such a loop." Chief Yang thought deeply and then looked at Chu Yan, saying, "The only solution now is to use the PandaX-4T Liquid Xenon Detector to re-decode the Dark Matter ssage."
Chu Yan sighed, "Grace just suggested that earlier."
Yang Xu imdiately said, "Could it be..."
"Yes, the Dark Matter ssage was also sent in the previous second," Chu Yan said solemnly.
Gasp...
In an instant, the air in the command center beca extrely eerie, and everyone felt a chill down their spine.
"Ti loop?" soone exclaid.
"Strange, how could this happen?"
Yang Xu looked serious: "Colleagues, let’s not panic. About this issue..."
At this mont, he paused, and suddenly noticed soone in the crowd raising a hand high.
"Liu Shijie, any suggestions?"
Liu Shijie, a seemingly young man in his thirties wearing large black-rimd glasses, was called out by Yang Xu. He was nervous with a pale face, swallowed hard twice, and cautiously said,
"I wonder if this ssage is caught in an ’observatory paradox’ of being unobservable."
"What do you an?" Yang Xu asked him.
"I... I an, if we don’t transmit information, could we directly receive the result of the ssage?"
Yang Xu’s eyes narrowed: "Go on."
Liu Shijie slowly stood up: "For example, the famous double-slit experint in quantum chanics, the final result depends on whether it’s observed. When not observed, particles are in a quantum superposition state, and observation causes wavefunction collapse, forcing particles to ’choose’ a path, losing wave-like properties. I was thinking that maybe this Dark Matter ssage is similar..."
"That’s one interpretation," Wu Junping said. "But the problem is, the decoded ssage exists within storage dia. If even the Intelligent Brain can’t observe it, how can we?"
"That’s what I’m saying..."
Liu Shijie, drenched in sweat, walked over, picked up a notebook on the desk, and began drawing.
"Neither we nor Grace can observe because the ssage exists within storage dia, but the dia can’t be read. It always exists in the previous second. Grace’s processing speed is fast, but she can’t read previous second data unless our processing chanism is slower than ti itself; then maybe we could..."
"For example, the Southern Heavenly Gate space station has 12 solar panel arrays with a total of 14,976 movable panels. Using servo motors for angle and flipping adjustnts, the motors have a fail-safe chanism, allowing over 2 seconds for surface parater calibration if the panels exceed 180 degrees. If we prepare a program to compile the ssage into binary code and apply it to the solar panel control center for observation calculations, then as long as the ssage exists, we can control the solar panels to flip, allowing us to use the delay to view the ssage..."
He elaborated extensively, yet Chu Yan, a layperson, didn’t understand at all, while Chief Yang and Wu Junping’s expressions imdiately changed.
"Do you an..."
"Using the Southern Heavenly Gate’s solar panels as a display screen?" Wu Junping replied in surprise.
"Could it work?"
"Don’t know..."
"Chief Yang," Chu Yan looked at the serious-faced Yang Xu at this ti.
Yang Xu replied, "Theoretically, it could work, but we’re completely unfamiliar with such ti collapse phenona."
"Then let’s decode it."
Chu Yan nodded, "I’ll imdiately communicate with Professor Ye and Lin Xian over there."
Imdiately, the entire Star Gazing team exploded into action, Wu Junping and Liu Shijie began working, preparing operational logic and command steps and then handed them to Chu Yan.
...
"What? The previous second?"
Within the Black Star Forge Consciousness Space, Lin Xian heard Chu Yan’s voice, and his expression was greatly shocked: "So this ssage could be related to the Dark Civilization?"
"That’s what we believe." Chu Yan’s voice ca.
"So, now proceeding to decode it?"
"Yes."
Lin Xian exited the Consciousness Space, at this mont, the Elite Squad was atop the Infinity. They were surprised by what Lin Xian said.
"How sure are we that it’s information about the Dark Civilization?" Ning Jing asked.
"Because it’s sent at 0 minutes and 1 second on Apocalypse Day. But it’s not entirely certain." KIKI crossed her arms, looking at the sky, "However, using the solar panel sche is quite ingenious."
"Was information received on our deep-space platform on Apocalypse Day?" Qian Deli asked curiously.
Ding Junyi, Xiao Yuan, Monica, Da Lou, Brother Huo, and Lu Xingchen were also filled with curiosity.
Chen Sixuan looked at the night sky and asked Lin Xian, "How long would it take them?"
"Soon, it won’t take much ti." Lin Xian said solemnly, then called Viola.
"Viola!"
[Here I am.]
At this ti, Viola flew over from afar. Lin Xian took out a large celestial telescope and said to her, "Capture the position of the Southern Heavenly Gate and observe the solar panel’s flipping situation; project the real-ti image to us."
[Okay.]
anwhile, at the Heavenly Calming Ship command center, Ye Lan led the high-ranking mbers of the Phoenix Society there, and Chu Yan was giving instructions to Grace.
Grace quickly finished entering the instruction code links.
[Compiled successfully, translated into text through binary code, the information will be cycled on the solar panel. Confirm whether to connect to the black box.]
"Deep-space monitoring station is calibrated, waiting for information entry."
"Radio observatory is calibrated."
"Current Southern Heavenly Gate near-earth defense platform solar panel angle is 35 degrees, set to 0 baseline."
Chu Yan turned her gaze to the high-ranking mbers of the Phoenix Society and Star Gazing team, closing her eyes slowly.
[Grace, connect it.]
[Grace understands.]
Above the deep space, Grace pressed the start button, in almost an instant, the ssage captured from the black box transford into operating instructions for the solar panel motor control.
In a flash, the vast solar panel arrays on the Southern Heavenly Gate quietly rotated in the unmanned deep space, each solar panel starting to turn.
At this mont, the Southern Heavenly Gate’s solar panels seed like an old chanical display screen, countless sunlit panels began to rotate towards Blue Star.
At this mont, the Phoenix Society on the Heavenly Calming Ship and people at the Infinity docked at Yongcheng Port were all staring intensely at the defense platform in the vast deep space.
seconds later, tens of thousands of solar panels completed the flip and converged into four words in all observation windows.
Four words that made everyone’s hair stand on end.
[Do Not Resist]!
